Tidal breakwater site with strong current and poor visibility.
Experienced-diver Oosterschelde site with breakwater entries, a steep well, strong tidal flow, and a tight high-tide window.
About Koningsheim
Koningsheim is a tidal Oosterschelde breakwater site in Zeeland with a shallow entry, a steep well off the right-hand breakwater, and a narrow high-tide window. The bottom is mostly sand and clay, and the site is known more for strong water movement and a small set of hardy species than for abundant life. It is a planning-heavy dive that rewards tide awareness, steady trim, and close buddy contact, with conditions that can shift quickly as the water moves through the channel.

Scuba Diving
A shallow site overall with a steep drop into a deep well in front of the right-hand breakwater.
Freediving
Only very experienced freedivers should consider it, and only in a tightly controlled tide window; the current makes it unsuitable for casual sessions.
Snorkeling
Not a casual snorkel site; the current and low visibility make it better suited to experienced water users than to relaxed shoreline snorkeling.
