This dive site, located on Lake Kaukajärvi, offers a unique underwater experience. During the summer and early autumn months, it transforms into an impressive ‘underwater jungle,’ teeming with life. You'll find a plentiful population of pike, perch, and crayfish, along with thousands of fish-fry sparkling in the sunlight. At night, tench and burbot emerge for feeding. The most accessible parts of this site are at only three meters deep, making it suitable even for instructors who prefer relaxed dives. It’s a truly rewarding location for divers of all levels.
