ZEELANDBRUG 32
Nederland, Zeeland
The Zeelandbrug is one of the best known and most visited dive sites in the Netherlands. It is a beautiful dive spot with a large rubble stone reef. Both the dike and the reef have exuberant vegetation and are full of life. The covered bridge piers are very beautiful and in deeper waters mullet and sea bass thrive. Typical for the Zeelandbrug are the cuttlefish and the seahorses. Cuttlefish come here around April and May, seahorses visit this area in August and September.
Particulars
Enter the Zeelandbrug from one of the stairs and dive around the rubble stone reef. Equally interesting are the pillars of the bridge. The second pillar can only be reached by experienced divers. From the Zeelandbrug drift dives can be made to the dive sites Halverwege and De Val. In 2009 steel slag were used to reinforcement the dike at the Zeelandbrug. This destroyed a lot of the marine life but it soon recovered. The Zeelandbrug is an official monument.
Warnings
Be careful, route navigation Diver's guide will lead you over the Zeelandbrug. Only park in the compartments! The stones of the reef are very large, be careful not to bump yourself. The Zeeland Brug is also a professional fishing ground. Do not dive when
