This dive site, Riemer See, is an artificial lake created in 2005 for the Federal Garden Show. It functions as a popular bathing lake but is open for diving outside the main bathing season. The lake benefits from an artificial groundwater overpass, ensuring consistently good water quality, which enhances the diving experience. Its relatively shallow depths make it easy to navigate.
Despite its young age, Riemer See boasts a surprising amount of aquatic life. Divers can expect to encounter a variety of macro-life, including pointed mud snails and water lice, which thrive in its freshwater ecosystem. The lake is also home to a good population of fish species such as perch, carp, and pike, offering interesting wildlife encounters for divers.
The best time to visit Riemer See for diving is outside the designated bathing season to ensure access and minimize interaction with swimmers. Given its location in Germany, divers should be prepared for cooler water temperatures by wearing appropriate thermal protection. Its shallow nature makes it particularly suitable for beginner divers and freedivers looking to practice in calm, controlled conditions.
