Via Sport Diving Marina - Koparki

Welcome to DiveChamp.com, your go-to resource for all things diving! Today, we're excited to introduce you to a captivating dive site located in Poland. Situated near the A4 motorway between Katowice and Krakow, close to Jaworzno-Szczakowa, this well-known and continuously developing location offers a unique underwater experience.

Formerly a dolomite quarry, the site, affectionately called "Gródek" by locals, is now home to a variety of fascinating underwater attractions. The main highlights include two large flooded mining excavators, a submerged power station, and a shipwreck, among other intriguing features.

This extraordinary dive site came into existence in 1997 when the quarry suddenly became disconnected from electricity. This unexpected turn of events caused the powerful water pumps to cease functioning, resulting in the unintentional flooding of the quarry with mining equipment. As a result, divers can now explore this submerged wonderland with depths ranging from 12 to 15 meters.

With visibility ranging from a respectable 3 to 10 meters, divers can appreciate the captivating underwater scenery and the unique opportunity to delve into this hidden gem. On the shore, convenient amenities such as divers' shelters, floating piers, and ladders are available for easy entry and exit into the water. Additionally, there is a filling station and snack bar to cater to your needs. The site welcomes divers year-round, operating between 8:00 and 24:00, with slightly adjusted winter hours until 16:00. Please note that there is an entry fee of PLN 30 per day.

Since 2015, Via Sport Diving Marina has been managing this remarkable site and has plans to further enhance its offerings.
