About Havenhoofd
Havenhoofd is a shore dive at the Zierikzee harbour entrance, reached by a long walk along the pier. The site is shaped by moving water, a stone-and-dike edge, and a channel-side setting that rewards experienced divers who can manage a basic, exposed approach. Stay out of the harbour waterway and the deeper sector that is off limits because of dumped ammunition.
