This dive site offers a unique long drift dive along the Traun River, covering approximately two kilometers downstream. Divers navigate with the current, making it an excellent experience for observing the river ecosystem as they slowly glide by. The duration of the dive can vary significantly, from 30 minutes during high water conditions to up to 115 minutes at lower water levels, emphasizing the importance of current awareness.
The highlight of the marine life here is the guaranteed sighting of numerous pike, making it a superb location for observing these impressive freshwater predators. While not explicitly mentioned, other common river fish species such as trout, chub, or barbel may also be encountered, along with various aquatic plants typical of a European river ecosystem.
The best time to visit will depend on desired current speed; slower currents during deeper water allow for a longer, more relaxed dive. Divers should be comfortable with drift diving techniques and aware of varying current conditions. It is also an excellent spot for freedivers and snorkelers due to its shallow depths and the clear opportunity to observe large fish from the surface or during breath-hold dives.
