Best for beginner divers, 10m, shore entry.
Steinbruchsee Reitzenhain is a flooded quarry in Germany offering a consistent depth of 10 metres. This site is suitable for beginners due to the absence of currents and simple shore entry. Divers can explore an artificial reef structure, though caution is required to avoid entanglement with debris or lines. Visibility typically ranges between 5 and 15 metres, with clearer conditions often found by diving early in the day. The environment supports various temperate freshwater fish and invertebrates typical of the region. Due to the nature of the quarry, water temperatures remain cold throughout the year, necessitating the use of an appropriate exposure suit for all dives.
