This dive site, TGL-ranta/Kaukajärvi, offers an easy and accessible diving experience from a sandy beach, located just after Tamglass above old Kangasalantie. It is known for its shallow depths and a platform suitable for training, making it highly beginner-friendly. Divers can explore an old wreck, described as a 'full southjuvenäic wreck,' which adds an element of historical interest to the underwater landscape. Navigation is straightforward from the shore entry.
Underwater, the site is home to a variety of freshwater creatures. Divers can expect to encounter fish such as perch and pike, along with 'mate' (likely a local fish species) and various crabs. While not known for large pelagics, the abundance of these smaller creatures provides good opportunities for observation.
As a lake dive in Finland, the best time to visit would typically be during the warmer summer months to enjoy more comfortable water temperatures and potentially better visibility. The training platform makes it an excellent location for learning or practicing skills, and its easy accessibility also makes it suitable for snorkelers and freedivers seeking a relaxed underwater experience. Remember to prepare for colder water conditions typical of Finnish lakes.
