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 dive site Strijenhaven behind the high poles beyond the small harbor (see map). You can also enter via the concrete steps but although this entry is very shallow near the shore. Now swim southward away from the dike and pass the relatively shallow sandy plain which after a while turns into the stream channel. Look carefully around you. The sandbar is home to many small fish. After a while, you will reach a long stretch of large peat blocks. It's a fascinating sight. Large bog blocks loom up every twenty meters. The strip of blocks runs from east to west and is most quickly accessible if you enter the water at the poles.
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
