This dive site, Friedelhof, is located in Germany and offers shore access from Hirtenweg. Divers should park responsibly and access the water between huts, being mindful of bathers and local residents. Underwater navigation involves heading 90 degrees to locate wrecks situated at a depth of 18 meters, then following a power line northwards for approximately 10 minutes. The site is primarily known for its challenging conditions, with visibility often poor due to the inlet from the Weissach river.
The main marine life attraction at Friedelhof is the abundance of perch, which are frequently seen and are noted to come from the nearby Ringsee. Beyond perch, the site description does not detail other specific fish species, invertebrates, or plant life, suggesting a focus on the wrecks and the general lake environment.
There is no specific best time to visit mentioned, but divers should be prepared for the consistently poor visibility due to the Weissach inlet. Tips for divers include practicing good buoyancy control to avoid stirring up the bottom and further reducing visibility, and being proficient in navigation techniques suitable for low visibility conditions. Respect for local residents and other water users during access is paramount.
