★★★★☆ Speicherbecken Geeste
Speicherbecken in Geeste is an is an artificially constructed water basin with a capacity of 23.4 million m3. There is a lot of eel and walleye. Also various objects! A nice place to dive!
★★★★☆ Kreidesee Hemmoor - Einstieg 1
Kreide-See is a well known and popular diving lake. In former times chalk was mined here. The roads, the vibrator, trucks, conveyor belts, and some machines that were needed for the mining can still be visited underwater.
★★★★☆ Sundhäuser See, Nordhausen
There is a dive center on the lake with everything you need for diving. Four nice entrances spread around the lake. Several training platforms at different depths. Four wrecks spread around the lake and a sunken village with houses, church, chapel, and cemetery can be dived through.
★★★★☆ Dankernsee
Near the border with Ter Apel (Groningen, Netherlands) lies Dankern. A lake with light blue water and a nice underwater park. Not much life, but the visibility and the nice objects makes up for this.
★★★★☆ Kreidesee Hemmoor - Einstieg 0
Entry can be reached via the large meadow in the direction of the jetty and takes you directly to the platform at 5 meters. Very good for skill exercises.
★★★★☆ Möwensee
There are many entrances for divers at Möwen-See. The lake almost always offers very good visibility. The topography underwater is very mountainous so always dive with a compass. The lake has little vegetation. The lake is about about 45 m deep.
★★★★☆ Kreidesee Hemmoor - Einstieg 3
The Chalk Lake has an area of 33 hectares and is 60 meters deep. During longer periods of good weather, visibility can rise up to 25 meters, thus creating an optimal dive location.
★★★★★ Messinghausen, See im Berg
This lake in the mountain is beautifully situated right on the mountain. The water is clear and rather cool. The training to become a Deep Diver is especially fun here. You could go down to a depth of 45 meters and with 480 meters of altitude, this is considered an altitude dive.
★★★★★ Moellersee
The so-called “Möllersee“ is located in Meppen, near Schlagbrückener See, and is a popular swimming lake on Panzerstraße. During the development of the northern outskirts of Meppen, a sand extraction site was created here, which has since developed into a near-natural lake.
★★★★☆ Kreidesee Hemmoor - Einstieg 2
The chalk lake, artificially created by opencast mining, has an area of 33 hectares and a maximum depth of 60 meters. Visibility of up to 25 meters is possible under favorable conditions (longer dry periods). Lots of abandoned mining gear and items sunk especially for divers.
★★★★☆ Kreidesee Hemmoor - Einstieg 5
From the entrance on the left, a steep wall worth seeing goes down to the bottom of the lake at approx. 55m, a little further on, from 35m downwards, scrawny little trees stand close together, the so-called "male forest". To the right of the entrance is the former fish farm, since 2021 diving is allowed.
★★★★☆ Kreidesee Hemmoor - Einstieg 4
Just perfect for everything :-) Diving, camping, eating, barbecuing, clear views, good visibility, dogs allowed, playground and much more... we love it there.
★★★★☆ Wippinger Kolk
Sand was extracted in the 1990s. It’s a private lake, and only select divers are allowed there. The area is unfenced but open to the public. Nice place in the Forrest
★★★☆☆ Forellensee
From the entrance of the gravel pit, there are three training platforms at 6 m, 9 m and 15 m, within a radius of 100 m, all connected by guidelines. The maximum depth here is 17 m. When diving further out, depths of up to 28 m are possible. The visibility is between 5 and 15 m.
