Oostende

Oostende (Ostend) is a coastal city in Belgium on the North Sea. It serves as a gateway for local shore diving trips along the Belgian coast and day boats to nearby reefs and wrecks when conditions permit; however, with only one local dive center and limited on-site dive sites, the city functions more as a travel base than a major diving hub. Freshwater opportunities are outside the city, and most diving activity here revolves around access to the Belgian seaside and occasional shore dives nearby, suitable for local divers and training trips.
