This dive site, Neufelder See Südrunde, offers an enjoyable freshwater experience in Austria. Divers can navigate south past a 10m platform, exploring several underwater ridges down to the maximum depth of 13m. Along the western shore, a smaller steep wall with small caves adds topographical interest. An overgrown edge at about 6m serves as a natural guide, allowing divers to follow it back to the entrance with their left shoulder.
The lake is home to a variety of freshwater fish, making it a lively spot for observation. Divers frequently encounter large carp, including mirror, grass, and common scaled carp, often found near the shore and under the wall. Pikes are also present, often lurking around the wall's features, and occasionally, divers might spot catfish.
The Neufelder See Südrunde is suitable for diving year-round, with warmer temperatures in summer making it particularly pleasant. The best time to visit for optimal fish sightings is generally during warmer months when the fish are more active. Freedivers will appreciate the shallow average depth and interesting underwater topography, especially the wall and caves. Tips for divers include exploring the small caves carefully and keeping an eye out for the larger fish species that frequent the overgrown edges.
