A shallow lake south-east of Feldberg, more than 1900 m long, between the village of Carwitz at its north end and a campsite dive base at its south end. Its deepest point lies at about 10 m, and two training platforms and a buoyancy park suit courses and skills practice.
Where it is and how deep
53.2844° N, 13.4320° EApproximate position — the dashed circle shows where the site lies; your operator's briefing has the mooring.
The dive
Dives start from the campsite base at the south end of the lake. Under the surface lie two training platforms and a buoyancy park, set in a healthy, intact lake landscape that never drops below about 10 m. Pike, tench, eel, perch and crayfish are the typical residents, and Sankt Schnuppi, the patron saint of all try divers, waits in the lake to be discovered.
