How deep is Strijenham?

The site starts around a shallow ridge and the dive is commonly described to about 20 m, with overhangs in places.

What marine life is common at Strijenham?

Expect cuttlefish, squid, nudibranchs, sea hares, pipefish, shrimp, and other Oosterschelde macro life.

What should divers watch for at Strijenham?

Watch the current, keep your approach simple, and plan the entry around the tide rather than the clock.

About Strijenham

Strijenham is a shore dive in the Oosterschelde, best suited to quiet tidal sessions and night diving. The route follows a dyke-side entry into a shallow ridge and overhanging structure, so the dive is more about reading the water and the terrain than covering distance. Plan around tide windows, and expect a cold-water macro dive with cuttlefish, squid, nudibranchs, and other Oosterschelde life.
