About This Dive Spot
Le Serpent is a concrete wreck that was intentionally sunk in 2011 to serve as an artificial reef near Scharendijke. Due to complications during the sinking process, the wreck is located at a depth greater than originally intended. Access to the wreck is restricted to experienced divers, as entry is only possible through the open hatches following a fatal incident that led to its closure. The site is characterized by minimal vegetation and a significant presence of fine sediment, which can adversely affect visibility.
