Aquatic Life in Tyrol
The Austrian lakes are not only a great backdrop for hikes or fresh for freshwater swimming, they get even more interesting below the surface. Tyrolean lakes feature some of Austria’s fascinating, low-turbidity (with a visibility of up to 20 meters) and rich underwater life, offering beautiful experiences for scuba divers of various skill sets. The good visibility allows for excellent underwater navigation so you can enjoy the large fish population, sunken tree trunks and other underwater features that characterize Tyrolean freshwater life. There are various fish such as trout, char, perch, bream, carp, as well as crayfish. A deviation is the Blindsee mountain lake, which has a maximum depth of about 20 meters (66ft) and warms up relatively quicker than other lakes generally would. Samaranger See and Fernsteinsee are the other two popular dive sites in the region.
