Aquatic sports
Divers' Eldorado
Immerse yourself --- literally --- deep down in the sea and discover its surprises --- anemones, starfish, crabs, lobsters and sea slugs! Zuid-Beveland and Tholen are known for their prime diving opportunities! Dive centers are located in Kattendijke and Wemeldinge, among others.
Fantastic fishing
The waters of Zuid-Beveland and Tholen are the place to be for flatfish, plaice, dab, eel, bass, mackerel, gar, and so on and so forth. There is a handicapped-accessible offshore fishing dock at Stavenisse.
Sport fishing is regulated here as well as elsewhere. The town hall and the VVV tourist information offices provide information on the necessary permits.
Wind in your hair, salt water splashing on your face --- the sea gives you all the room you need to enjoy yourself! Speed-loving sail fanatics can brave the waves in a genuine racing yacht with ‘Enjoy Sailing’ --- and, though no experience is required, you’re expected to lend a hand! Water-skiing is permitted near Tholen(Speelmansplaten). Banana boats, jet skis, pedal boats, etc., are available at ‘De Speelmansplaten’ recreation area.
The Oosterschelde offers more of a challenge for the advanced surfer --- currents and rough water make it too dangerous for beginners. An exception is the surfing area along the Oesterdam --- here beginners as well as experienced surfers can find great surfing.
