About Plompetoren, Koudekerke
Plompetoren, Koudekerke is a Zeeland shore dive at the edge of the Oosterschelde, named for the remaining tower of the drowned village. The site is a straightforward-to-navigate point with parallel depth lines, oyster banks, sand, and stones, but it is not a lazy dive: strong current, tide timing, and low visibility can all shape the day. It suits divers who are comfortable planning around the tide rather than treating the site like a calm inland reef.
