This dive site is the Lom Bořená Hora quarry, a freshwater flooded quarry in Czechia, operating as an SSI Dive Center. It features a unique underwater landscape including the main attraction, a sunken MI8 helicopter wreck, which provides an interesting object for exploration and navigation. The quarry has a maximum depth of 12 meters and an average depth of approximately 6 meters, making it accessible and enjoyable for a wide range of divers, from beginners to more experienced individuals.
The quarry is home to common freshwater fish species. Divers and snorkelers can expect to encounter carp, bream, catfish, and pike swimming in their natural habitat. Additionally, the 'blue bay' area of the quarry boasts a beautiful water lily garden that extends down to a depth of 5 meters, adding a unique botanical element to the underwater scenery.
While there isn't specific information about the 'best time to visit', freshwater quarries in temperate climates are generally most enjoyable during warmer months when surface temperatures are higher, though conditions can vary. It is a good site for training and refreshing skills. Divers and freedivers can explore the wreck, observe fish, and enjoy the tranquil environment, while snorkelers can appreciate the shallower lily garden and fish from the surface.
