Dive-site story
Straussee is a long, glacial channel lake located northeast of Berlin. Submerged tree roots, aquatic weed beds, and silty slopes define the underwater terrain. Several entry points along the western and southern shores provide access to training platforms, sunken boats, and classic northern European freshwater habitats.
