Kőbánya Mine is a flooded industrial site located beneath Budapest, offering a unique overhead environment for experienced divers.

Visibility is excellent, typically between 10 and 30 metres in still, currentless water. Due to the cold water temperatures of 5 to 12°C and the overhead environment, this site is suited for intermediate to advanced divers.
