Meersburg - Krebsgarten, located in Meersburg, Germany, is a popular dive site accessible from a parking lot via a gravel path and potentially slippery stone stairs. Divers should exercise caution on these stairs during entry and exit. Underwater, the site features a shallow sloping heap, ranging from 5 to approximately 20 meters. To the left of the entrance, at about 5 meters depth, there's a submerged platform often utilized for training and safety stops, making the site suitable for freedivers as well.
The site truly lives up to its name, "Crab Garden," especially during the summer months when the shallow areas become densely overgrown with aquatic plants. This lush vegetation provides a vibrant habitat for numerous crabs and various freshwater fish species, which are particularly abundant in summer. Night dives here offer a fantastic experience, revealing large fish and crustaceans amidst the diverse marine environment, making it ideal for exploring the wonders of the nocturnal ocean.
