STRIJENHAM 79
Nederland, Zeeland
Strijenham is a dive site full of flora and fauna. The site is home to cuttlefish, squid, flatfish and a huge variety of nudibranchs and green and brown weeds. The cuttlefish are mostly seen from April onwards. A striking feature of Strijenham is the overhanging ledge where you can spot numerous small marine life forms. Strijenham is one of the first dive sites in Zeeland where the rare wakama weed has been observed. The wakama weed, now more ore less common in Zeeland, is cultivated along the French coast. From there, it drifted towards Zeeland.
Particulars
Enter Strijenham at a bend in the dike via the staircase. Underwater, you swim perpendicularly off the dike to a depth of 15 to 20 meters, depending on the tide. Then follow the dike slope eastwards until you see a sandy slope perpendicular to the dike. These are the remains of an old dam. The slope ends in a peat wall with beautifully overgrown stone blocks next to it. On the way back, dive into the shallow water along the dyke body.
Warnings
Don't dive at Strijenham in winds stronger than wind force 4. Stairs are slippery at low tide. Fairway. Don't make free ascents. Sometimes the current can be different from what you expect. Plan your dive well via the tide planner. Off-tide diving is less
