This dive site, Jezioro Tarnobrzeskie, offers a unique freshwater diving experience in Poland, suitable for divers of all certification levels. Underwater navigation is guided by a variety of sunken objects including training platforms, a caisson, and cabins, creating an engaging and exploratory environment. The lake itself is a former sulfur mine, flooded in the 1990s, transforming an industrial landscape into a popular recreational area and dive destination.
The dive site boasts a healthy freshwater ecosystem. Divers can expect to encounter large freshwater fish such as huge carp, perch, and chub, particularly near the shore and pier. Pike are often found lurking among the rushes, providing exciting wildlife encounters. While specific plant life isn't detailed, the presence of rushes indicates typical lake vegetation that provides habitat for aquatic life.
The best time to visit Jezioro Tarnobrzeskie for diving is typically during the warmer months, from late spring to early autumn, when water temperatures are more comfortable and visibility might be at its best. Divers should be prepared for cooler freshwater temperatures. Freedivers will also find the shallow depths and interesting underwater features highly suitable for breath-hold exploration. This site is ideal for skill practice, equipment testing, and enjoyable recreational dives for families and groups.
