About this dive site

This dive site at Strandbad Maiernigg offers a unique garden-like underwater environment, ideal for divers to practice buoyancy and explore. It features two submerged platforms, various fixtures, and a sunken car, providing distinct navigation points and points of interest. While there's no extensive historical narrative provided, its artificial installations suggest it's primarily developed as a dedicated training and recreational diving spot within the lake.
The site is home to typical freshwater inhabitants, including pike, catfish, and perch, which are often found congregating around the artificial structures and within the water lily belts. Divers may also encounter crabs. The vegetation forms a natural habitat, complementing the man-made elements.
The shallow maximum depth of 9 meters and an average depth of 4 meters make this an excellent location for beginners and for practicing skills, particularly buoyancy control and underwater navigation training. Freedivers will also find the calm, shallow conditions appealing. The best time to visit would likely be during warmer months when water temperatures are more comfortable and visibility is typically at its best, though exact seasonal variations are not specified.
