This dive site, Murner See Süd, is located in a former brown coal mine in Germany. Divers enter directly from the shore into an environment known for its challenging navigation, making it more suited for advanced and technical divers. Its unique history as a mining site contributes to its distinct underwater topography, including a notable underwater forest. Orientation can be difficult for less experienced divers due to the complex layout.
Unfortunately, due to the acidic pH value of the water, marine life is limited, with only a few perch typically observed. The main biological attraction is a beautiful little underwater forest, which provides a unique landscape for exploration, despite the scarcity of diverse fauna.
The site is best visited by advanced and technical divers who can appreciate its unique landscape and navigation challenges. There are no specific seasonal highlights mentioned, but stable weather conditions would always be preferable. Freedivers might find the depth suitable, but the difficult orientation and limited marine life make it less appealing for recreational breath-hold diving. Divers should be prepared for potentially reduced visibility and the specific challenges of a former mine site.
