About this dive site

This dive site, Tenderingssee, is a popular freshwater diving location in Germany, well-known for its consistently excellent visibility, rarely dropping below 6 meters. Underwater navigation is aided by a practice platform and various other sunken objects, making it an ideal spot for training and leisure dives. There is no specific historical narrative provided, but its clear waters and artificial structures suggest it is primarily developed for diver education and enjoyment.

The lake is home to a diverse array of freshwater marine life. Divers can expect to encounter perch, pike, and catfish, alongside larger sturgeon and even two resident turtles. In the spring, the lake particularly comes alive with observable schools of young fish, adding to the biological interest of the site.

The best time to visit Tenderingssee for observing the vibrant schools of young fish is during spring. With a maximum depth of 8 meters and an average of 4 meters, combined with clear conditions, it is perfectly suited for both beginner divers seeking a safe and interesting environment, and freedivers looking to practice in calm, shallow waters. It's an excellent site for refreshing skills or introducing new divers to the underwater world.
