About this dive site

This dive site offers three distinct entry points around Obersee in Lanke, Germany: at Hotel Seeschloss, opposite the bathing area, and near Ützdorf. Dives are primarily conducted in the shallow shore areas, reaching a maximum depth of 6 meters. The site is characterized by typical freshwater lake conditions, providing straightforward navigation along the gentle sloping bottom without complex structures or historical elements mentioned.

Divers can expect to encounter common freshwater species such as roach, pike, perch, crabs, and eels. For those with a keen eye and patience, there's a possibility of spotting a 'mud-wrestler', likely a local term for a specific bottom-dwelling fish or creature. Plant life would typically consist of various aquatic flora common to temperate freshwater lakes.

The best time to visit would generally be during warmer months for more comfortable conditions, though specific seasonal highlights aren't detailed. This site is particularly suitable for beginner divers, training dives, and those looking for a relaxing, shallow freshwater experience. Freedivers and snorkelers will also find the shallow depths and calm waters accommodating, offering easy access to observe the local aquatic life.
