About this dive site

This dive site, NaturaGart Tauchpark, is renowned as Europe's largest foil pond specifically designed for divers, offering a unique freshwater diving experience. Underwater navigation leads divers to a 13-meter-long wreck and an extensive 300-meter-long artificial cave system, providing varied exploration opportunities. The park's innovative design offers a controlled environment for recreational diving.

The primary aquatic inhabitants are up to 35 sturgeons of five different species, with the largest individuals reaching an impressive body length of approximately 210 cm, making them a significant attraction. While focused on these large fish, divers may also encounter other freshwater organisms and aquatic plants typically found in pond environments.

The NaturaGart Tauchpark is generally suitable for year-round diving, offering consistent conditions within its controlled environment. It is an excellent destination for both scuba divers, who can explore the wreck and cave, and freedivers, who will appreciate the shallow depths and the chance to observe the giant sturgeons. Divers should be prepared for potential cooler water temperatures typical of inland German dive sites.
