First time at the Zeelandbrug and it was definitely good. Lots of dahlia anemones and a couple of sea bass. There were also many hermit crabs and very large sea slugs. Slack water came too late so we had to swim against the current for a while. Xavier showed us a couple of spider crabs. I myself saw a couple of big sea slugs with an egg ribbon.
