Franse Trap
Wemeldinge, Zeeland, Netherlands
UNVERIFIED — Franse Trap is an exact named Netherlands dive site in Zeeland supported by the current active-site registry and an independent dive guide or operating dive school. Its displayed coordinate is a deliberately rounded locality marker, not an entry, reef, wreck or navigation point. Current access, tide, depth and conditions require a local briefing; this is source-backed desk research, not field verification.

Before you arrive
Access notes
Shore access in tidal Zeeland waters. Confirm the legal dive zone, parking/entry status and calculate the current slack-water window locally; no free-ascent or navigation coordinates are supplied. Never use this profile’s displayed coordinate to locate an entry, slack-water point, object or wreck.
Plan within your training
Conditions and hazards
Strong or rapidly changing tidal current, short slack-water windows, low/variable visibility, cold water, slippery dikes, fishing gear and nearby vessel channels. Obey all marked prohibited areas; use a local briefing and current emergency plan.

Facilities and support
Facilities vary by site and can change; confirm stairs or dike access, parking, toilets, rinse point, air/nitrox fills, oxygen and emergency communications locally.
Independent resource notice
This record is a starting point for independent verification. Access, closures, moorings, weather, currents, depth, visibility, operator availability, and site conditions can change without notice. Confirm current information with the responsible operator, property owner, managing authority, or another qualified local source before planning or attempting a dive.
