Steinbruch Miltitz is a flooded quarry in Germany that serves as an artificial reef for divers. The site offers a controlled environment for skill development, with depths ranging from 12 to 22 metres and an average depth of 15 metres. Shore entry is available, and the lack of current provides a calm setting for buoyancy practice. Visibility typically fluctuates between 5 and 10 metres, so carrying a dive torch is recommended to navigate the artificial structures effectively. Facilities on site include toilets and changing rooms, allowing for convenient preparation before entering the water. Divers should remain aware of the significant depth and potential for variable visibility throughout the dive.
