About this dive site

This dive site is located in the Weissensee Nature Park and accessible only by boat with our diving boats. It features a dramatic, 350-meter long limestone wall that plunges steeply to approximately 70 meters. This location offers an exceptional experience for experienced deep divers seeking challenging dives. The approach begins along a mooring line beneath an old tree root system containing carp. During the fall months, observers can frequently witness the activity of aquatic birds hunting in the area; the Weissensee is renowned as one of Austria's most abundant fish-rich lakes, creating a rich feeding ground for these birds. The substantial wall descends in multiple tiers to reach a depth of around 72 meters. This dive site is recommended only for advanced divers.
