Scharendijke Haven is a Grevelingen harbor shore dive with easy access.
Scharendijke Haven is a Grevelingen harbor shore dive with easy access.
Scharendijke Haven is a Grevelingen harbor shore dive with a shallow, biologically rich entry zone that rolls into reefballs, anemones, sand flats, and a deeper sloping seabed. It is the kind of site where easy access, short shoreline logistics, and patient observation matter more than chasing depth, and the nearby wreck routes make it useful for both relaxed dives and more structured training days.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Use lights on the deeper wreck routes, keep clear of the harbor traffic flow, and expect cold water and muted visibility outside the warmer months.
Access Restrictions
Use the harbor entry and dike-stair route, and respect the guest-only and paid-parking zones around the haven.
Legal Notes
Parking is paid in part of the harbor area from April to October, and some spaces near the dive center are reserved for guests only.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The dive includes a heavily deteriorated wreck and mixed bottom types.
Freediving
Freediving is possible in the shallow harbor zone, but the site is better appreciated with scuba because the deeper features and wreck routes need gear and navigation.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling works near the water edge in calm conditions, but the reefballs and wreck features are better explored on scuba.
