Oude Kademuur van Zierikzee is a boat-only wall dive.
Oude Kademuur van Zierikzee is a boat-only wall dive.
Oude Kademuur van Zierikzee is a boat-only Oosterschelde wall dive on the remains of Zierikzee’s old quay wall between Zeelandbrug and De Val. It rewards a controlled profile, because the wall drops steeply and the best life sits on the stonework itself where crabs, nudibranchs, and schooling fish gather; plan the dive around slack tide and keep the route simple.
Conservative baseline from public research. No community dives logged yet.
Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
3m - 22m
Depth Note
The wall is shallowest around low water and drops to the low 20s, so it is a depth-range dive that changes with the tide.
Best Season
Year-round, but slack-tide windows matter more than the calendar.
Typical Conditions
Tidal saltwater wall dive with a steep drop, live stonework, and current that can bite outside slack water.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Plan the dive around slack tide, keep your profile controlled, and avoid letting the current push you into the wall or out of the working zone.
Access Restrictions
Access is by boat only and the tide window matters. Do not treat it as a shore entry or a casual low-water stroll.
Legal Notes
Use boat access and follow local tidal and harbour rules for the Oosterschelde. The site sits in active water where navigation discipline matters.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best for controlled boat dives, wall following, and slack-tide planning. Stay off the wall enough to hold a clean profile and keep an eye on the current.
Freediving
Not a practical freedive site. The boat access, current, and depth changes make it a scuba dive rather than a breath-hold option.
Snorkeling
Not a practical snorkel site. The wall and tidal current make it a scuba-only dive for most visitors.
