Tauchsee Hänigsen

Dive into the depths of our newly explored lake located at Weißdornallee, Hänigsen, Uetze, Region Hannover, Lower Saxony, Germany. With its incredible visibility of up to 5 meters, this old gravel pit offers a unique diving experience. Access is exclusive to Jens Haak DivingSchool, allowing for a serene and undisturbed underwater adventure.

Situated on private property, this lake presents a tranquil and secluded atmosphere. While the fish population may be low, our recent dives have revealed the presence of perch, pike, carp, and a bustling community of catfish. As we continue to prepare this dive site for our diving training, we have uncovered intriguing underwater formations, including a captivating "wall."

Conveniently located, you can drive directly to the entrance, which is only 10 meters away from the water. A well-paved road leads directly into the lake, where a comfortable entry and exit can be made via a staircase. The maximum depth of the water reaches 11.5 meters, providing ample opportunities for exploration. In October 2020, we submerged an underwater platform measuring 3 by 4 meters at a depth of 5 meters. Now, this platform is already inhabited by a lively group of catfish.

Whether you're a beginner or an advanced diver, this dive site offers an excellent opportunity to hone your skills in a peaceful and controlled environment. Immerse yourself in the beauty of this hidden gem and discover the wonders that lie beneath the surface. Join us for an unforgettable diving experience at our renowned German dive site.
