Dive Spot Guide•
Katshoek
Dense Oosterschelde breakwater dive with strong current.
Zeeland shore dive with a long walk-in, low-tide breakwater exposure, and a calmer inner side that turns current-heavy outside.
About Katshoek
Katshoek is a classic Oosterschelde breakwater dive with a long shore approach, a dense and tropical-looking inner reef, and a much stronger current on the outside. It suits experienced Zeeland divers who are comfortable with tide planning, low visibility, and picking through a hard-substrate reef for the small life that makes the site interesting.

Scuba Diving
Inside the breakwater is where the sheltered life sits; the outside is for divers comfortable with stronger current.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site; the current and tidal planning make Katshoek better suited to scuba.
Snorkeling
The shallow bits can be explored from the surface, but Katshoek is primarily a scuba site because of current and low visibility.
