Scuba Duba in the Alps.
Lake diving in
the clear waters of the Austrian alpine region
lakes get continuous momentum since about 15
years. Dive the lakes is ideal for a short time
dive adventure trip.
Dive lakes could be done
just by snorkeling but there are enough people
around this days having some money to be spent,
so why not buying some diving gear and
equipments to explore the depths of the lakes.
Of course you could also rent the scuba diving
equipment.
Just get your
diving equipment into the car for a scuba
diving trip in the beautiful lakes of the
Austrian alps, actually it wont be much
different in any other lake district anywhere in
the world with very clean water. Clean water is
a problem on many places on the globe, in
Austria all lakes have drinking water quality,
this is no yoke !
Diving in a lake
is something special, great diving sites are
almost everywhere and a great dive in a deep
lake is just the right stuff for a lake diver.
Lake elevation is sometimes quite high up and in
many lakes are wrecks to be explored.
There are little
lake and huge lakes and there are scuba diving
accidents every year at almost all scuba
diving destinations. To avoid this is not only a
matter to have excellent scuba diving equipment
and scuba diving gear, it needs to have respect
for the deep water and be careful.
One way to avoid
problems is to get the right scuba diving
lessons. In any case lake scuba diving is
great, as you can see at the scuba diving photos
and pictures in this website. You can also find
suggestions for unforgettable scuba diving trips
and some scuba diving instruction. |

The Austrian Attersee in Salzkammergut, upper
Austria –"see" stands for lake- is a popular
diving spot, although a little bit cold, no
plenty of colorful fishes and every year some
fatal accidents.
In this area there are dozen of beautiful lakes
with drinking water quality and
crystal-clear water . The ideal scuba diving ground
since the lake waters have usually a visibility up to about 25
meter on a sunny day. The Austrian lakes are
excellent for scuba diving |
|
beginners since they
also have no underwater
currents. This freshwater spots
in Austria are therefore an
ideal training ground for
newcomers and not only training.
A scuba diver will find a great
and different underwater world
and keep one thing in mind,
never dive alone. Almost all
fatal accidents in the lakes id
with solo scuba diver
A other very well known lake
for scuba diving is the Toplitz See or
Lake Toplitz where the myths tell that the
treasure of Hitler and the Nazis is hidden. The
Lake Toplitz is every couple of years the
target of scuba diving expeditions to find the
hidden Nazi treasures.
The Nazis used Lake
Toplitz as a warehouse, dumping stolen art, gold,
jewels and counterfeited English pounds among
other things into the lake. Over the years some
interesting things have been recovered including
millions of counterfeit British pounds and
American dollars. But some say most of what was
dumped into the Lake Toplitz is still there.

Usually the scuba diver
who dive the Toplitz lake
find some Nazi memorabilia since it is true that
Hitler's guys offloaded lots of boxes into the
lake but no real treasure found yet. Maybe this
will change in the future with new scuba diving
technology,
Lake Toplitz is very deep.
Usually this
area of Austria see more people hiking and mountain climbing. But scuba
diving in the Salzkammergut lakes
becomes more and more popular, its a
good combination for a great vacation.
Enjoy the
beautiful countryside, dive into the
lakes, try good food and do a little
scuba diving. Small villages with
baroque church towers, old farmhouses
and a incredible mountain and lake
environment.

Walking in
the wetsuit with the diving gear on your
body towards the shore is not as
easy with the weight belt around and the
air tank on our back.
Once into the water, its a real great
experience, within the silence it feels like a separate universe. With the first
fin movements the hectic life over the
water surface has gone and the bubble
are the only sound heard.
No colorful coral reefs and bizarre
creatures are around the lake divers
on his or hers lake diving trip, there its peace
under water, even at the bottom of
the Attersee only stones and shells are
there, only occasionally a few fish
pass.
A
great lake dive
is gliding
through green water, you get respect,
but no fear, only if you loose the
respect for the elements deadly
accidents happen regularly.
In Austria,
the Attersee is often called "Todessee"
means death lake. The scuba diver down
there feel so exited that unfortunately
they forget the danger.
In the last 15 years a boom in lake
scuba diving started in Austria.
Especially on weekends many people put
on their diving gear and have a look
into the underwater world.
There are
plenty of other lakes around such as the Mondsee, Traunsee, Wolfgangsee, the two
Langbathseen, Hallstättersee and other
lakes are within a one to two hour drive
distance.
