This dive site, located at the Bad Saag lido between Pörtschach and Velden, offers a versatile underwater experience for divers of all levels. Explorers can navigate the shallow areas teeming with aquatic vegetation and diverse fish, or venture into the deeper sections which promise a unique, unforgettable experience in clear darkness. A recommended route follows the north shore towards the west, showcasing the lake's abundant flora.
The site is home to a variety of freshwater fish species, including impressive pike, large catfish, agile rudd, common carp, and plentiful perch. The shallow regions are particularly rich in various forms of aquatic vegetation, providing essential habitat and feeding grounds for smaller aquatic life and adding to the visual appeal of the dive.
While accessible year-round for prepared divers, the warmer months generally offer more comfortable conditions. This site is ideal for beginner divers to practice skills in its shallower, well-lit parts, and for advanced divers to enjoy the tranquility and distinctive 'clear darkness' of the deeper areas. Freedivers will also find the 10-meter maximum depth suitable for breath-hold training and exploration.
