Oude veersedijk Wolphaartsdijk is a shallow Veerse Meer shore dive with light.
Oude veersedijk Wolphaartsdijk is a shallow Veerse Meer shore dive with a wall, anchor, poles, and a weeded bottom that gives good light for relaxed diving and photography. It is easy to enter from shore and works well for beginners, snorkelers, and underwater shooters. Summer boat traffic and the nearby channel mean you still need a dive flag, controlled ascents, and attention to surface traffic.
