Further highlights are the "Marienschlucht", known as one of the most beautiful steep walls in Central Europe and other impressive steep wall dives. You can take part on both diving days (Saturday and Sunday) or only on Saturday or Sunday. In both cases, arrival is the evening before. This diving trip is suitable for experienced divers who enjoy cold water. We look forward to seeing you! - Your DCP Team
