Dolfijntje is a sheltered Grevelingen shore dive near Scharendijke with a very narrow legal dive line beside the harbour entrance. The site runs as a short out-and-back from the dike over a gentle sand slope, so navigation is simple but the usable water is tightly bounded. It is best for calm, shallow dives that stay close to shore and watch local traffic.

Scuba Diving
Best as a short shoreline out-and-back. Stay close to the permitted edge and expect a relaxed, shallow profile with small-life focus.

Snorkeling works in the shallow shore zone, but the usable area is narrow and the harbour-side boundary still applies.
