This dive site is the quarry in Wildschütz, Germany, offering a diverse underwater experience for divers of all levels. It features a good mix of natural quarry characteristics like steep walls and remnants from its active mining period, alongside numerous artificially sunk attractions. Navigation likely involves following the walls and exploring the various installations. The site distinguishes itself with a shallow recreational area and a much deeper zone for technical divers, including a pump house at approximately 70 meters depth.
The lake is rich in freshwater aquatic life, including numerous fish species such as perch, pike, and a unique catfish. Extensive underwater forests, especially in the areas overgrown with numerous aquatic plants, provide habitat and visual interest, offering retreat points for the fish.
The best time to visit this quarry would likely be during warmer months for better surface conditions and potentially better visibility, although cold water diving is possible year-round with appropriate gear. Highlights include exploring the steep walls, the underwater forests, and the various artificial attractions. Freedivers can enjoy the shallow, plant-rich zones, while technical divers have the challenge of the deep pump house. Recreational divers will find plenty to explore in the shallower parts, making it a versatile destination.
