This dive site, Tollensesee in Neubrandenburg, Germany, is notable for the historical remains of the Torpedo Test Facility (TVA). Divers can explore numerous torpedoes and various wrecks scattered across the lakebed, offering a unique underwater landscape with historical significance. Navigation primarily involves exploring these man-made structures, guided by organized trips from the local diving club, Tollensee, to various distinct diving sites within the lake.
The lake is home to diverse freshwater aquatic life. Divers may encounter large schools of small perch, especially around structures and within the shallower parts of the lake. Pike can also be frequently observed in the shallow waters, often lurking amongst the underwater vegetation or patrolling their territories, offering exciting encounters for divers.
The Tollensesee dive site is best suited for experienced divers comfortable with challenging conditions, including deep diving, cold water, and potentially low visibility. The organized trips by the Tollensee diving club are highly recommended to access the various specific sites and enhance the overall diving experience. Due to the challenging cold and dark conditions, it is primarily a scuba diving destination, less suitable for general freediving or snorkeling.
