'T HOEKJE
Nederland, Noord Holland
't Hoekje is located just before the border between the Waddenzee and the North Sea on the island of Texel. This makes 't Hoekje surprising and diverse. The entire diving area is filled with large and small boulders, which form a perfect habitat for marine life. You can count on huge sea antlers, large eels and, if you're lucky, a seahorse. It's a difficult dive site, with complex factors and strong, fluctuating currents. Dive at 't Hoekje only with knowledge of the area and good preparation.
