This dive site, Megawand, is located on the north shore of Weißensee, Austria. It features an impressive overhanging steep wall that curves around a bend, starting directly from a mooring point. Divers can easily navigate along the wall, exploring its contours and the unique freshwater environment. There is no specific history or story provided for this particular dive site.
The crystal clear shallows are teeming with schools of young fish, which can be followed as they weave through the numerous submerged trees in the shore area. Typical freshwater fish species such as various cyprinids, perch, or pike might be encountered, alongside diverse aquatic plants clinging to the wall and lakebed.
The best time to visit for diving is generally during the warmer months, though drysuit diving is possible year-round for cold-water enthusiasts. The excellent visibility in the shallows makes it ideal for both scuba divers and freedivers to enjoy the fish schools and unique submerged trees. Divers should be prepared for cold water, even in summer.
