About this dive site

This dive site, known as Paradies Starnberger See, is easily accessible from the town of Starnberg, specifically towards Possenhofen. Divers can unload their gear directly at the lakefront after turning right at the first kiosk, then park in a large designated lot. There is no specific history or navigational challenge mentioned, suggesting a straightforward shore dive into the lake.

The aquatic life here is quite diverse for a freshwater lake. Divers can expect to encounter a significant amount of macro life, including various fly larvae and other small invertebrates. Larger fish species like perch and pike are abundant and come in all sizes. With some luck, it's also possible to spot crayfish, vendace, and whitefish, adding to the richness of the underwater ecosystem.

The kiosk at the site operates all year in good weather, suggesting that the dive site is accessible and enjoyable throughout different seasons, although water temperatures will vary. The shallow depths of 9 meters maximum and an average of 4 meters make it ideal for beginners, training dives, and those interested in macro photography and freshwater fish identification. Both snorkelers and freedivers will find the site suitable due to its shallow nature and visible marine life.
