Scharendijke Kabbelaarsrif: the long steiger with the entry platform at its end and stone steps at its base, the training platform at 9 m just in front of it, and Le Serpent (57 m concrete barge, sunk 2011, deck 23 m, bottom 29 m) about 130 m out on a course of 330°, drawn from its bow and stern in OpenStreetMap. Shoreline, steiger and buoys from OpenStreetMap; descriptions from duikplaats.net. The reefballs (8–12 m, west of the platform) and the small wrecks Zeehond (10 m) and Rat (14 m), each on its own buoy further west, are not drawn because their positions are not known.

The Kabbelaarsbank is the sand body just inside the Brouwersdam at Scharendijke, and the dive site off it drops away more sharply than most of the Grevelingen: 16.8 m in this log, against the 8–12 m of the Dreischor entries.

Two dives, June 2008 and August 2023.
