Schoten

Schoten is a municipality in the province of Antwerp, Belgium, near the coast. It is not a major coastal diving hub, but it sits within reach of the Belgian coast and the North Sea region. Local diving activity is modest: nearby dive centers in the Antwerp area offer recreational dives, courses, and equipment rental, with access to coastal sites along the North Sea and the Scheldt estuary. For freshwater options, the Groot Schijn river is a minor waterway in the area, not a typical diving destination, and any diving there would be highly specialized and uncommon. Overall, Schoten serves more as a gateway to nearby Belgian divesites than a dive center itself.
