This dive site, located on the left bank of the Vltava river within the Slapy Dam, is historically known as 'Koranda' due to the submerged remains of the former mill 'Na Korande'. Divers can explore these fascinating underwater structures, which offer a unique navigation experience, with depths ranging from 5m to 25m around the ruins. The site provides an intriguing glimpse into local history beneath the surface of the dam.
The freshwater environment is home to various common fish species found in the Slapy Dam. Divers can expect to encounter perch, pike, zander, and catfish throughout the site. Towards the end of the bay, eels are also frequently sighted, adding to the diverse aquatic life available for observation.
The best time to visit this dive site is typically during the warmer months, from late spring to early autumn, when water temperatures are more comfortable. It is suitable for both scuba divers of all levels due to its varied depths and for freedivers looking to explore the deeper sections. Divers should be mindful of potential colder water at depth and typical freshwater visibility conditions. This site offers a unique blend of historical exploration and freshwater marine life observation.
