This dive site, Nonnenweier Vogelsee, is known for its impressive underwater landscape featuring steep walls and a sunken dredger, adding an interesting element to exploration. While the lake itself boasts depths beyond 40 meters, the designated dive site maintains a recreational maximum of 19 meters. Entry is via a shore access point located about 500 meters from the parking lot, providing a straightforward, albeit short, walk.
The lake is home to an abundance of fish, offering divers a chance to observe various freshwater species such as pike, perch, carp, and bream. The diverse fish population, coupled with the unique submerged dredger, creates an engaging environment for both wide-angle and macro photography enthusiasts.
The Nonnenweier Vogelsee is ideal for year-round diving, though colder months will necessitate appropriate dry suit gear. The site's clear water and varied topography make it suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers looking to explore its depths and steep walls. Remember to plan for the 500m walk to the entry point and ensure you are equipped for potential cold water conditions typical of German lakes.
