Best for advanced divers, 8-18m, boat entry, strong current.
Kloster is a drift dive located in Wallhausen, Germany, featuring an artificial reef structure. The site ranges from 8 to 18 metres in depth, with an average of 13 metres. Divers must use a boat for entry, as the site is subject to strong currents that require advanced skills and precise buoyancy control. Visibility typically fluctuates between 5 and 15 metres. Water temperatures remain cold, dropping to 4 to 6°C below 10 metres, necessitating appropriate thermal protection. Due to the presence of boat traffic and potential entanglement risks near the reef, divers should deploy a surface marker buoy and maintain strict awareness of their surroundings throughout the 40-minute dive.
