Dive-site story
Located along the northern shoreline of Lake Constance near Immenstaad, Dorniermole offers classic freshwater lake diving right off the former aviation industrial site. A shallow gravel entry transitions into a steep silt slope that plunges into deep, cold water. Divers commonly encounter freshwater species hunting around remnants of underwater structures and wooden pilings, though thorough dive planning is essential due to rapid depth changes and cold temperatures beneath the thermocline.
