About Le Serpent
Le Serpent is a concrete wreck in the Grevelingenmeer near Scharendijke. It was deliberately sunk as an artificial reef in 2011, but it settled deeper than planned and is now a serious wreck dive for experienced divers. Access is limited to the open hatches, and the site is known more for its deep profile and poor visibility than for marine growth.
