Chiemsee/Breitbrunn (Urfahrn)
Welcome to our dive site, located in Germany near Wasserwacht, Chiemsee. This stunning dive location offers a beach with separate entrances for bathers, divers, and lifeguards. With its sandy shores and round stones, it provides a unique diving experience.
Although the visibility may vary, typically ranging from 0.5m to 2m at a depth of 8m, this dive site is still worth exploring. Along the beach, you'll discover a variety of aquatic plants, which serve as a habitat for pike up to 50cm in length. For those who enjoy night dives, keep an eye out for swarms of small crabs, measuring approximately 5mm, near the ocean floor.
This dive site is perfect for beginners and individuals looking to refresh their diving skills. The shallow sloping shore allows for easy access, and the maximum depth of 14m offers a comfortable environment. However, it's important to bring dive lights with you as it can be quite dark beyond 8m.
As you venture deeper into the water, you'll notice a drop in temperature starting at around 18m. At 25m, the water can be as cold as 4/5 degrees, even during the month of June. While there may not be an abundance of marine life to observe, objects have been intentionally sunk at the border separating the diving area from the swimming area, approximately 7m deep. For those seeking additional sights, navigation skills are crucial as they are located further out from the shore.
During your return journey, keep an eye out for the submerged tree stumps on the left side of the entrance near the shore. The pathway back to the entrance will take you past the boathouse of the water rescue service. We recommend exploring this beautiful dive site, appreciating the unique features that make it a memorable experience for divers of all levels.
