This dive site, Ludwigshafen - Lädine, offers a unique wreck diving experience in Lake Constance, Germany. Divers can explore the historically and archaeologically valuable remains of a clay freighter, a Lädine, which serves as the primary underwater navigation point. Due to its historical significance, divers must demonstrate excellent buoyancy control to avoid damaging the delicate wreck site.
Lake Constance is home to a rich aquatic ecosystem, supporting over 30 species of fish, including various river fish species. The distribution and presence of these fish can vary depending on the season, offering different encounters throughout the year. While large pelagics are not found, divers can observe a diverse range of freshwater inhabitants around the wreck and surrounding areas.
The best time to visit this dive site would likely depend on seasonal fish distribution or water temperature preferences. Divers are strongly advised to prioritize perfect buoyancy control to respect and preserve the valuable wreck. For freedivers, the maximum depth of 21 meters and average depth of 10 meters offer suitable conditions for exploration, keeping in mind the need for good buoyancy near the wreck.
