Dive-site story
Bergse Diepsluis sits at the eastern end of the Oosterschelde along the Oesterdam dike. Shielded behind a lock barrier away from main tidal channels, water movement remains gentle compared to other Zeeland sites. The area features shallow clay plateaus, oyster beds, and human-made sepia frames installed for breeding cuttlefish each spring.
Spring mating aggregations and egg deposits of common cuttlefish
Artificial sepia sticks and platforms covered in soft fauna
Gentle water sheltered from harsh tidal currents
Shore entry via dedicated dive stairs across the dike
