Dive-site story
Located along the Krabbenkreek channel on the island of Tholen, Sint Annaland offers access to the tidal waters of the Oosterschelde. The seabed transitions from shallow sand flats to scattered peat formations, oyster banks, and sediment slopes. Divers often target this area during spring when artificial breeding structures attract mating cephalopods.

Seasonality
