Flauwers heerenkeet is a murky Oosterschelde shore dive.
Flauwers heerenkeet is a tide-sensitive Oosterschelde shore dive with a muddy bottom, an overgrown wreck, stone and sand transitions, and a deep well off the main line. It is an experienced-diver site rather than a casual splash, with current, low visibility, and a slippery rock entry shaping how the dive is planned. Plan it with a short tide window and a conservative route.
