Oesterputten
Oesterputten is a tide-planned shore dive at the old harbour mouth.
Time low water, cross the harbour mouth, and plan for a tidal return before the current builds.
About Oesterputten
Oesterputten is a tide-planned shore dive at the old harbour mouth, where you cross at low water and enter by the first breakwater. Underwater the route is a simple out-and-back or left-hand loop over sand, oyster habitat, and rockwork that holds flatfish, crabs, and spring cuttlefish. The site works best when you time the tide carefully and are ready for stronger current after the turn.
