This dive site, known as Versunkener Wald (Sunken Forest) in Cospudener See, Germany, is a demanding boat-accessible location. Divers must master perfect buoyancy, navigation, and buoy shooting to explore this unique underwater landscape, likely a submerged forest due to a former opencast mine being flooded, forming the lake.
The marine life here consists mainly of freshwater species, including various small fish and abundant shell stockings, suggesting a healthy population of mussels or similar invertebrates characteristic of a lake ecosystem.
Diving here requires comfort with cold water. The best time to visit would likely be summer/early autumn for slightly warmer water, but year-round diving is possible for prepared divers. While challenging, the unique sunken forest offers a distinct experience for advanced divers and potentially skilled freedivers.
