Best for beginner divers, 40-20m, shore entry.
Bad Wiessee Yachtclub is a freshwater dive site located on Tegernsee in the Bavarian Alps. The topography features a wall and drop-off that descends to depths between 40 and 60 metres. Divers can expect visibility ranging from 5 to 15 metres with calm, current-free conditions. Shore entry provides straightforward access to the water. While the site is suitable for beginners, the significant depth requires careful monitoring of limits. The habitat supports various temperate freshwater fish and invertebrates. Due to the cold water temperatures, which range from 3°C to 22°C, appropriate thermal protection such as a drysuit or thick wetsuit with hood and gloves is recommended.

Cold water is the main physical challenge regardless of season, so a drysuit or a thick wetsuit with hood and gloves is worth prioritising over a standard summer wetsuit. Verify current facility availability locally before you go, as on-site amenities can vary.
