Dive-site story
Located along the Grevelingenmeer in Zeeland, Den Osse Nieuwe Kerkweg is one of the most accessible and frequented saltwater lake dives in the region. Divers enter via stairs over the dike leading to a dedicated pontoon. Below the surface, a sloping bottom gives way to an artificial reef consisting of clustered concrete reef balls covered in ascidians, sponges, and plumose anemones.
Extensive field of colonized concrete reef balls providing shelter for macro life
Staircase and floating entry pontoon specifically built for divers
Tide-free saltwater conditions ideal for navigation practice and night diving
