Dive-site story
Located in the southern suburbs of Mannheim, Rheinauer See is a former gravel extraction lake developed into a recreation and training site. Divers enter from the dedicated shore access point to find gentle gravel slopes leading down into siltier plains. Submerged root structures, fallen shoreline timber, and training platforms dot the underwater terrain, providing habitat for regional freshwater fauna.

Designated training platforms anchored at multiple depth stages for skill drills
Steep silt banks and aquatic weed beds harboring juvenile fish
