This dive site, Edersee, Tauchzone 2 "Sitte", is a popular freshwater diving location in Germany. It features a unique terraced slope that drops towards the south and a boulder field found after a few meters to the right. The diving zone is clearly marked by yellow buoys, and divers are required to stay within these boundaries. Access is straightforward, involving a short drive from the Edersee diving center, a dedicated parking lot, and a staircase leading to the entry point.
Typical marine life for a temperate freshwater lake can be observed here, including various freshwater fish species such as perch, pike, carp, and eel. Divers may also encounter crayfish, mussels, and diverse aquatic plants thriving on the submerged structures and along the lakebed.
The best time to visit Edersee for diving is typically during the warmer months from late spring to early autumn, when water temperatures are more comfortable, though a drysuit is recommended for colder periods. This site is suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers due to its accessible depths. Divers should be mindful of the marked zone and potential for cold water, while enjoying the unique underwater topography.
