This dive site, the quarry pond Untergrombach (Metzgerallmend), is located in the district of Karlsruhe, Germany. It is specifically designed with different zones to protect the local animal and plant life, which divers are expected to respect. Access is facilitated via a designated diving board, simplifying entry and exit. While the lake itself goes deeper, the dive site is restricted to a maximum depth of 13 meters, making it manageable for various skill levels.
The freshwater environment of Untergrombach is home to a variety of fish species. Divers can commonly spot pike, perch, carp, and roach. For those with a keen eye and a bit of luck, there's also the exciting possibility of encountering sturgeons, which are a special highlight of this dive site.
As no specific best time to visit is mentioned, it's generally advisable to check local conditions for water temperature and visibility, especially as it is a quarry pond in Germany. Divers should always adhere to the designated diving zones and make use of the diving board for entry to minimize disturbance to the environment. Its relatively shallow average depth makes it suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers looking to explore local freshwater ecosystems.
