About this dive site

This dive site, Pferdetränke, is located in a freshwater lake in Germany and is accessed via a rubber dinghy. Divers are dropped off and then navigate back to a designated entry base, keeping the shore on their left shoulder. The bottom features a quick drop-off to 15 meters and more, revealing a captivating labyrinth of old branches, which forms an interesting underwater landscape. There is no specific historical information provided for this site.

The aquatic life at Pferdetränke primarily includes freshwater sponges, which thrive among the submerged branches, offering unique macro photo opportunities. Divers can also encounter large shoals of various freshwater fish species, adding dynamism to the underwater environment.

The best time to visit this site would likely be during warmer months for potentially better visibility and comfort, though local conditions can vary. It is particularly suitable for divers interested in freshwater macro life and unique underwater topographies. Due to the self-navigation requirement back to base, divers should be comfortable with basic compass or natural navigation techniques. Freedivers will also find the relatively shallow average depth suitable for exploration.
