About this dive site

This dive site, Walchensee Einsiedlbucht, offers a unique underwater experience featuring a full work table and various debris, including smaller wrecks and other rubbish. Access is notably easy via a convenient footbridge, making entry and exit straightforward. While no specific historical context is provided for the underwater installations, they create an unusual submerged landscape for divers to explore.

The lake is surprisingly species-rich, providing excellent opportunities to encounter diverse freshwater marine life. Near the entrance, schools of perch are almost always present. Additionally, divers frequently spot pike, zander, trout, burbot, and bream throughout the site, contributing to a lively aquatic environment.

Its moderate depths and easy access make it particularly suitable for beginner divers and those seeking relaxed exploration. Freedivers can also enjoy the clear waters and abundant fish life, especially near the shallower entrance.
