Tide-driven shore dive with parking
Tide-driven shore dive with parking
Wemeldinge Parking, also known as Kattendijke, is a shore dive entered from a parking area across the road. The route changes with the tide, heading left on ebb and right on flood, and the site can be dived at both high and low tide. The seabed is mostly sand, with brittle stars, flatfish, lobsters, crabs, and occasional cuttlefish.
Safety Notes
Navigation depends on tidal direction: go left on ebb and right on flood. Plan depth and gas for dives that may reach 40 m.
Access Restrictions
Dive timing should follow the tide; strong flow and post-rain runoff can reduce comfort and visibility.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Possible to do shallow dives as well as deeper profiles up to about 40 m; route choice depends on tidal flow.
