Dive Spot Guide•
Roompot
Roompot is a tidal Dutch wreck dive in the Oosterschelde.
Boat-accessed wreck in a tidal channel near the Oosterschelde barrier; best at slack water for wreck divers who can time the tide.
About Roompot
Roompot is a sand-bogged Dutch wreck in the Oosterschelde boating channel near the storm surge barrier. The wreck is best dived around slack water, when current and visibility are most manageable and the masts, hull sections, and copper plating are easiest to make out. It suits wreck divers who are comfortable timing a tide window rather than chasing a long open season, and the surrounding estuary life is part of the appeal.
