Überreste Steilhang is a shore-entry wall and drop-off site located in Kreidesee Hemmoor. The topography features a distinct vertical structure that descends into the lake. Divers should be prepared for variable visibility and water temperatures ranging from 5C in winter to 20C in summer. Due to the presence of boat traffic, the use of a surface marker buoy is essential and should be deployed before any ascent. Divers are advised to stay close to the wall to manage navigation in changing visibility conditions. Always check current local conditions before entering the water, as both visibility and currents can shift quickly at this location.
