Gorishoek De Punt is a challenging pier-entry dive in Zeeland.
Gorishoek De Punt is a challenging pier-entry dive in the Oosterschelde with a short tide window and strong current planning. Enter from the pier side, keep clear of the restricted harbor side, and make the turn before the flow builds. The reward is a deep, orange-toned wall of oyster and anemone growth with plenty of marine life, plus good onshore support nearby for fills, parking, and a meal between dives.

Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Plan the turn early, avoid free ascents, and use a marker buoy because the current can build quickly around the tide.
Access Restrictions
The left side is restricted for divers, and the harbor shipping route must be avoided.
Legal Notes
Follow the allowed pier route, keep clear of harbor traffic, and use local dive access rules.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as an experienced-diver shore scuba route: enter at the pier, work the structure, and return before the current builds.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive site; the pier layout and current timing make this a scuba-first dive.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first site; the main interest sits below the shallow entry and suits scuba better.
