This dive site, known locally as Żbik, is located in Tyrsko Lake in Olsztyn, Poland. It offers a straightforward and accessible dive experience with entry directly from a sandy beach. Due to its shallow depths (max 8 meters, average 4 meters), it is ideal for training, relaxed dives, and exploring the littoral zone. There is no complex navigation or specific historical background beyond its local naming by divers, which suggests a well-regarded local spot.
The richly developed littoral zone of Tyrsko Lake provides a habitat for various freshwater fish species. Divers can anticipate encountering pike, perch, burbot, and eel within this ecosystem. The aquatic plant life is also a significant feature, contributing to the 'richly developed' nature of the shallow areas.
This dive site is excellent for beginners, freedivers, and snorkelers looking for a peaceful freshwater experience. The best time to visit would likely be during the warmer months to ensure more comfortable water temperatures and potentially higher activity of the fish species mentioned.
