Dive-site story
Situated south of Vienna in a flooded former lignite quarry, this lake serves as one of eastern Austria's most frequented freshwater training and recreational dive locations. Entry ramps lead directly to submerged training platforms, training courses, and sunken curiosities including small boat wrecks and submerged tree structures. Underwater vegetation flourishes in the shallows during warmer months, providing shelter for native lake fauna.
