About Wissenkerke Westnol
Wissenkerke Westnol is a demanding Oosterschelde shore dive along a line of stones and oyster banks near Wissenkerke. The site rewards experienced divers who can work with tide windows and a difficult entry, because current and low visibility are normal parts of the dive. When conditions line up, the stones and hard substrate hold rich North Sea life rather than an easy scenic route.
