Tugboat

Tugboat is a local shore dive near Nieuwpoort, roughly five to ten minutes from the harbor. It presents a straightforward entry from the beach and features a sunken tugboat resting on sandy bottom with moderate currents depending on conditions. Depths typically range from shallow to mid-depth, suitable for beginner to intermediate divers with appropriate training. The site is part of a busy coastal area and often visited by local dive centers for practice and guided trips. Expect common North Sea species and typical seascape features such as sandy patches, seagrass meadows nearby, and the occasional wreck scavenger or juvenile fish taking shelter around the wreckage. Visibility can vary with weather and recent tides, so plan dives with local conditions in mind.
