Dive sites in Germany

Hunsfels in Stromberg is a flooded limestone quarry featuring sheer rock walls and significant depth. Stepped terraces, submerged working structures, and suspended training platforms span the water column. Cold conditions persist year-round beneath sharp thermoclines, drawing sport divers honing deep skills alongside technical rebreather teams.

A flooded former open-cast lignite mine in the Upper Palatinate lake district, Murner See is entered at the western shore Turm point near the wooden observation tower. The route descends terraced clay slopes shaped by past excavation, navigating past submerged tree stumps, silt banks, and fixed training platforms.

Steilwand Wallhausen sits along the Überlingen arm of Lake Constance. From the designated shore entry, a sloping gravel shelf leads directly to a vertical rock face plunging into the deep. Divers need sharp trim because the wall extends past recreational limits into silt. Fish shelter along the upper lip and weed beds, whereas deep rock terraces hold cold-water species.

Tauchbasis Riesenstein occupies a former granite quarry in Meißen, Saxony. Entry points at shore platforms lead along sheer quarried stone walls dropping into dark water, where remnant mining machinery, training platforms, wrecks, pipes, and carts mark navigation routes through the basin.
