This dive site, known as Šljunkara Lake, is one of several lakes located near the town of Bela Crkva in Serbia. It offers remarkably easy access to the water, with car parking available just 20 meters away, making it convenient for divers. The lake is relatively shallow, with an average depth of 2 meters and a maximum of 5 meters, suitable for relaxed exploration.
The lake's freshwater ecosystem supports a variety of aquatic life. Divers can expect to encounter species such as trout and catfish, which are significant inhabitants of these waters. Additionally, other freshwater fish species and various types of shellfish contribute to the lake's small but interesting biodiversity.
While visibility varies throughout the year, suggesting that certain seasons may offer clearer conditions, this site is primarily suited for beginner divers, training, and those looking for a calm freshwater experience. Its shallow depths also make it an excellent location for snorkeling and freediving, particularly during warmer months when water temperatures are more comfortable. Divers should be prepared for typical freshwater conditions, including potential for cooler temperatures.
