This dive site, Tauchbasis Werbelinsee, is located in a freshwater lake offering varied experiences for divers of all levels. It features three dedicated training platforms for beginners, making it an excellent spot to learn or refine basic skills. For more experienced divers, there is the challenge and interest of the "Cape Horn" wreck, providing an interesting underwater landscape to explore. The site is generally well-structured for navigation, with clearly defined areas for different activities.
Underwater, divers can observe a variety of freshwater marine life. Common sightings include perch, pike, and burbot, with crayfish and mussels inhabiting the lakebed. Depending on the season, the site can also be teeming with a large number of young fish, offering dynamic and lively encounters for observers.
Visibility at Tauchbasis Werbelinsee is highly variable, ranging from zero to 10 meters, so divers should be prepared for changing conditions. Due to occasional heavy boat traffic on the lake, it is highly recommended that divers always carry a buoy for safety. The site is suitable for both snorkeling and freediving due to its shallow depths, though boat traffic awareness remains crucial. Best times to visit for potentially better visibility are typically outside of heavy rain periods or after extended calm weather.
