This dive site, known as Neufelder See's "Einstieg Tauch-Sport-Vienna," offers a fantastic training ground for divers. The bottom gently slopes from the shore, leading to a platform at 5 meters heading east. From this platform, divers can follow lines to a Neptune figure and a 2-meter plastic shark at approximately 7 meters. Further navigation includes a platform at 10 meters heading south and another at 20 meters heading east, providing a structured environment for skill development and exploration. The artificial figures serve as engaging underwater landmarks.
The Neufelder See boasts a rich aquatic life, providing opportunities to encounter sunfish, perch, pike (in various sizes), scaly, mirror, and grass carp (often found in schools), tench, catfish, trout, and signal crayfish. This diverse freshwater ecosystem ensures there's always something interesting to observe for both macro and wide-angle enthusiasts.
The best time to visit Neufelder See is generally during the warmer months (spring to autumn) when water temperatures are more comfortable and visibility might be at its best. It's an excellent location for beginner divers to practice skills due to its shallow maximum depth and clear navigational aids. Freedivers will also find the platforms and figures suitable for breath-hold training. Divers should be prepared for potential cooler water temperatures typical of inland lakes.
