This dive site, known as Süplinger Canyon, is an old quarry situated on the outskirts of Süplingen village in Germany. Access involves a 200-meter walk from parking past a barrier, leading to a steel staircase that descends into the water (caution advised due to slipping hazard). Underwater, divers can explore the remnants of the quarry, which has formed an interesting canyon-like topography.
The freshwater environment is teeming with life, offering sightings of various fish species such as perch, rudd, catfish, and pike. A unique highlight is the presence of freshwater jellyfish, adding to the site's biodiversity and appeal for macro enthusiasts.
While there is no specific 'best time' mentioned, generally, warmer months would be more comfortable for diving in freshwater quarries in Germany. Divers should be mindful of the slippery steel staircase during entry and exit. The site is excellent for those looking to practice their skills in a calm, shallow environment and is particularly rewarding for macro photography due to the diverse small life.
