Westenwind is a shore dive in Grevelingen with very shallow water, easy access, limited current, and a hard channel boundary.
About Westenwind
Westenwind is a shallow Grevelingen shore spot that works best when you want an easy entry, a short swim, and a lot of small-life detail instead of depth. The shallow zone is bright with red algae and typical Grevelingen life, while the outer line runs toward a channel that should stay out of the plan. It is a better fit for experienced snorkelers and careful, well-trimmed divers than for anyone looking for a deep profile or a busy training site.
