About this dive site

This dive site is the Schweriner Lastensegler, an approximately 100-year-old wreck of a historic cargo glider located off the island of Ziegelwerder. The wreck is exceptionally well-preserved and lies upright on a flat keel at a maximum depth of 17 meters, with an average depth of around 8 meters. It offers numerous fascinating details, making it an excellent spot for underwater photography and filming. The site is easily accessible by boat, requiring only a few minutes to reach.

Divers can expect to encounter a variety of freshwater inhabitants at this site, including pike, eels, perch, and other indigenous fish species. While specific plant life isn't detailed, the freshwater environment supports a typical ecosystem for these fish.

This dive site is ideal for both scuba divers and freedivers due to its relatively shallow depths and interesting wreck structure. It is particularly appealing for those interested in wreck photography and freshwater marine life. Given the location in Germany, divers should be prepared for potentially cold water conditions.
