Dive-site story
Along the northern shoreline of Lake Weissensee in Carinthia, this alpine dive site features a sheer underwater rock face. Submerged trees and driftwood cling to rocky ledges, sheltering cold-water fish. Divers step off a shallow shelf directly onto a vertical wall plunging into glacial depths, where distinct thermoclines divide the water column.
Steep limestone wall dropping into the alpine basin
Submerged root systems and fallen timber sheltering freshwater predators
Clear water characteristic of high-altitude lakes during winter and shoulder seasons
