Best for beginner divers, 2-52m, shore entry.
Burkheim Sportplatz is a freshwater artificial reef site in Southern Germany offering a wide depth range from 2 to 52 metres. The site features excellent visibility, typically between 10 and 30 metres, with no current to manage. While the shallow areas are suitable for beginners, the significant drop-off requires careful monitoring of depth gauges to remain within certification limits. Divers can access the water via a shore entry, with parking available on site. The site is diveable year-round, with typical dives lasting around 40 minutes. Due to the potential for a thermocline and the extreme depth, divers should plan their profiles and turn-around depths carefully before entry.

The significant depth means even though entry and the shallows are beginner-friendly, you must plan your maximum depth carefully before getting in. Stick to your certification limits and agree a turn-around depth with your buddy on the surface.
