Scouted entries, coloured by today. The colour is the sea state at the spot, not a guarantee: the wash and a slippery entry you judge on site.

Walk from the parking to the stairs on the west harbour dam and enter there. Sand and stone slope down to about 30 m; the east dam (Oostbout) nearby reaches about 35 m. Very strong current and a short high-water slack: dive only at low-water slack, fly a dive flag and keep out of the harbour and channel. Spearfishing not permitted here — check local rules.

Enter by the concrete stairs on the pier. Oyster-covered wall with anemones down to about 40 m and beyond. Very strong, treacherous current near the groyne and at depth with a short slack window; the channel is close, so use a surface marker and avoid free ascents. Spearfishing not permitted here — check local rules.

Climb the dike stairs, turn left to the first small groyne and enter beside it. The shallow sand drops quickly to about 12 m and at most around 20 m, with oyster beds and old dike stones covered in anemones. The shipping channel is close and diving in it is prohibited; best visibility on the ebb. Spearfishing not permitted here — check local rules.

Enter by the concrete stairs a short walk from the parking. Stony bottom covered in plumose anemones, then sand and oyster beds down to about 35 m.

Enter by the divers' stairs and follow the heavily overgrown dike wall; oyster beds, rock fill and sand slope to about 40 m. Current is usually weak except around the pier head; the shipping channel is close, so do not make free ascents and fly a dive flag. Spearfishing not permitted here — check local rules.
