About this dive site

This dive site, Camping Schwarzenau at Achensee, offers a highly versatile diving experience directly from shore. Divers can easily explore very beautiful shore formations in the shallow waters, which are great for diving and provide opportunities for extended bottom times. The site also provides quick access to greater depths, allowing for varied dive profiles and exploration. There is no specific historical background or story provided for this natural dive site.

Underwater, divers may encounter a few small perch, which are commonly seen around the formations and in the shallower areas. Pike are also present at this dive site, though they are considered rare sightings. No specific underwater plant life beyond typical freshwater vegetation is explicitly mentioned in the description.

The highlight of diving at Camping Schwarzenau is undoubtedly its diverse topography, combining accessible shallow beauty with deeper areas reaching 21 meters. It's suitable for a wide range of skill levels from beginner to advanced. Given its lake environment in Austria, divers should be prepared for cold water, making appropriate thermal protection like dry suits or thick wetsuits advisable.
