About This Dive Spot
Kijkuit Polder is a shallow dive site characterized by a silty bottom that can easily become stirred up. Divers can enter the water at multiple locations, particularly between the breakwaters where the depth remains minimal. An alternative entry point is available at the end of the breakwater at the head of the dike, though caution is advised due to the proximity of a shipping channel. Below a depth of 10 meters, the substrate transitions to sand, which is relatively devoid of marine life. Most aquatic organisms are found on harder surfaces within the site.
