This dive site, Mondsee Kreuzstein, offers an accessible freshwater diving experience with an easy shore entry via a flat gravel bank. While much of the dive is fairly shallow, the main attraction at its maximum stated depth of 18 meters features intriguing car wrecks to explore. This makes navigation straightforward, typically following the slope down to the wrecks and exploring the shallower areas around the entry point.
The marine life here is characteristic of a freshwater lake environment. During night dives, the shallow areas become particularly active, with large shoals of juvenile fish visible. Divers can also spot eels and observe sleeping pike, which add an exciting dimension to the nocturnal experience. Other common freshwater fish species are likely to be present during the day.
Mondsee Kreuzstein is highly suitable for night dives, offering a different perspective on the site's aquatic residents. It caters to all levels of divers, from beginners enjoying the shallow, easy access to intermediate divers keen on exploring the wrecks at 18 meters. Freedivers will also find the site appealing due to its accessible shallow areas and manageable depth. Remember to account for cold water temperatures typical of mountain lakes.
