About Galjoen Zonder Poen
Galjoen Zonder Poen is a shore-access wreck dive off Wemeldinge in the Oosterschelde. It rewards careful tide planning because the flow can run very hard, and the approach is easiest when you work with the water rather than against it. The wreck and nearby slope are heavily overgrown, with rich marine life on the structure and the sandy approach. It suits experienced divers who want a classic Zeeland tidal dive with a clear route and changing conditions.
