Dive-site story
Located along the eastern shore of Lake Starnberg, this designated winter diving site gives cold-water divers access to steep drop-offs and clay walls. Clear water conditions predominate during the cold months after seasonal boat traffic drops off and plankton blooms die down. The bottom drops steeply into profound depths, requiring diligent buoyancy management and appropriate cold-water gear.
