Borrendamme

Also known as: Kistersnol · Borredamme · Borrendamme - Kistersnol

From the car park at the Borredamme farm it is a walk of about 400 metres to a small pier, where divers enter either straight into the estuary or over a shell slope on the inside. A shallow plate between the shore and the pier extension catches current once the tide starts to fall. Off the pier the bottom quickly reaches about 25 metres, and turning right along the shore leads over blocks and oysters full of lobsters, edible crabs, spider crabs and squat lobsters. Close to the storm surge barrier the current can be strong and slack water is short, and visibility drops with westerly winds of force four or more. Fishing gear and shellfish plots are found here, so divers keep clear of nets.
