Dive-site story
Located in the Überlinger See arm of Lake Constance near Ludwigshafen, this site centers on a historic wooden freight barge that carried clay across the lake. The wreck sits upright on a muddy slope, requiring precise buoyancy control to avoid kicking up the fine sediment. Divers descend across a silty bottom before reaching the wooden ribs and cargo remains of the barge, with darker, cold conditions prevailing year-round at depth.
