This dive site, Mikado East, is situated on the southern shore of Lake Weissensee in Austria. It is primarily known for a sunken barge, which lies in the shallow waters at a depth of 6-8 meters, providing an interesting exploration point for divers. The site offers easy navigation in its crystal clear shallow areas, making it a pleasant and accessible dive.
The clear waters of Mikado East are home to various freshwater fish. Divers can frequently encounter zander, especially in the shallower regions, and pike, which often lurk for prey in the same areas, making for exciting wildlife observations.
The best time to visit this dive site for optimal conditions and marine life sightings is generally during warmer months when lake temperatures are more comfortable. Its shallow depth and clear visibility make it particularly suitable for beginner divers and a great spot for both freedivers and snorkelers to enjoy the underwater environment.
