Situated at Sundhäuser See in Thuringia, this freshwater diving center offers access to a dedicated underwater park. Divers explore the submerged historical settlement of Nordhusia, featuring reconstructed medieval timber buildings, a small church, and a graveyard. Beyond the novelty architecture, submerged wooden wrecks, training platforms, and overgrown gravel beds provide varied routes across the lake.
