Tide-planned shore dive with a long sloping bottom and strong current.
Tide-planned shore dive with a long sloping bottom and strong current.
Nieuwe Sluis - De Tetjes is a shore-entry Zeeland dive beside a dam and dike, where the line of the dive changes with the tide and the bottom drops away in a long sloping profile. Basalt blocks, sandy flats and a current-prone edge give the site its character, so it feels more like a tide-planned shore dive than a casual beach entry.

Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Plan the direction with the tide, avoid the channel edge and expect the current to tighten or rotate.
Access Restrictions
Stay clear of the navigation channel and use the beach corner entry only when conditions and tide line up.
Legal Notes
Free access, but the dive is tide-sensitive and the channel must be respected.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Tide determines whether you dive left or right from the beach corner, with a long slope into deeper water.
Freediving
Only for very experienced freedivers in calm tide windows; the current and depth make it a serious site.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first site; the interesting part is the tide-managed shore dive and the slope below.
