This dive site, Neufelder See Nordrunde, offers an interesting freshwater diving experience in Austria. Divers typically head north for about 16-18 minutes from the entrance, where they will encounter a steep wall descending to a stated maximum of 13 meters (though the wall itself may extend deeper locally, the dive site's max is 13m). Above this wall, at a depth of 5 meters, lies an extensive 'seagrass meadow' primarily composed of sago pondweed. The shore, rising to the west, provides a natural navigation guide to follow back to the entrance on your right. There is no specific history or story provided for this dive site.
The 'seagrass meadow' is a vibrant ecosystem teeming with marine life, notably countless young fish, sunfish, perches, and pikes of various sizes. Occasionally, divers might also spot tench and catfish. The rich vegetation provides excellent habitat and feeding grounds for these freshwater species, making it a lively spot for observation.
For an optimal experience, the best time to visit would generally be during warmer months for more comfortable water temperatures. Divers should explore both the steep wall for its topography and the extensive seagrass meadow for its abundant small marine life. This site is particularly suitable for new divers or those looking for a relaxed freshwater dive with good opportunities for fish spotting and underwater photography.
