STRIJENHAVEN #
Nederland, Zeeland
Strijenhaven is an excellent alternative for Strijenham or the Bergse Diepsluis. Dive into this fascinating landscape, full of butterfish and lobsters. Strijenhaven is a beautiful natural site and therefore ideal for a quiet dive. You are diving in a bowl of the dike. The diving area is relatively small and consists of sandy bottoms and various large peat formations, that appear in front of you like large blocks. Marine life here is exuberant. There is a good chance you'll spot lobsters as well as hermit crabs, crabs and butterfish.
Particulars
Enter the water via the concrete staircase with handrail or the high poles near the harbour (see map). Swim southwards from the dike, then cross the relatively shallow sand bottom to reach deeper water. Look carefully around you. The sandbank is home to many small fish. After a while you'll reach a long strip with large peat blocks. It's a fascinating sight. Every twenty meters large peat blocks appear. The strip runs from east to west and is best accessible from entry point 2 (watch map).
Warnings
Strijenhaven is not included in the official list of dive sites in Zeeland and has therefore no dive site number. Dive at high tide for an easy entry and exit. Stay away from the harbour entrance. Boat channel. Don't make free ascents. Many traps in lobst
