About this dive site

This dive site, Wandl, is a popular lake dive in Austria, offering a diverse underwater experience along a gently sloping shore that descends to 24 meters. Divers can navigate by following the slope, encountering a convenient training platform at 8 meters. To the right in the shallows, approximately 10 minutes away, lie the remains of an old jeep, adding an interesting wreck element. Further down, at 24 meters, a huge boulder marks another key point of interest.

The marine life here includes occasional sightings of pike, often found patrolling the near-shore areas. At the large boulder, divers might spot eels, which are known to hide among its crevices. While the description doesn't explicitly mention other specific fish species or plant life, typical freshwater lake fauna and flora common to Austrian lakes can be expected, contributing to the ecosystem.

Wandl is suitable for year-round diving, though summer months offer warmer water temperatures. Highlights include the training platform for skill development, the intriguing jeep remains for exploration, and the deep boulder as a focal point. It's an excellent site for all levels, particularly great for beginner training and freediving due to the platform and varied depths. Visibility can be good, making it a rewarding experience for underwater photography of the structures and resident fish.
