Noordbout is a quiet Oosterschelde shore dive at the pier point. Expect sand and silt, a long walk from parking, modest life, and a possible drift toward Zuidbout for experienced divers.
About Noordbout
Noordbout is a quiet shore dive at the point of a pier in the Oosterschelde, where divers enter at the head of the dam, swim out, and work the left side of the structure. The bottom is mostly sand and silt with scattered stones and sparse growth, so it feels more like a practical tidal shoreline dive than a showpiece site. Experienced divers sometimes use it as a drift route toward Zuidbout when the tide and compass work line up.
