This dive site, D-Loch Woringen, is a small, private freshwater lake located in Germany. Access is highly restricted, requiring a key obtainable from the owner, ensuring a limited number of divers at any given time. There are no public facilities like toilets, but barbecue possibilities make it a suitable spot for a full day out. Underwater navigation is likely straightforward due to the small size and shallow depth.
The primary attraction of D-Loch Woringen is its population of several sturgeons, which are noted for being very trusting of divers. Besides these impressive fish, the lake also contains various undisclosed "sights" that add interest to the dive. As a freshwater lake, other typical freshwater fish species may also be observed.
The best time to visit D-Loch Woringen is during the summer months, although even then, the water temperature remains "quite fresh." Divers and freedivers should anticipate cold conditions and plan appropriate thermal protection. Given the shallow depth, it's excellent for training, practicing skills, and enjoying the unique interaction with the sturgeons. Remember to contact the owner well in advance to arrange access.
