Banter See

The small Bornhorster See, also known as “Borni“ to us divers, is a fishing, diving and bathing lake with a maximum depth of 16m that was dug out for the construction of the motorway. One of the entrances can be reached from the car park via a forest path about 100m long. Visibility varies between 3-5m.

The swimming lake offers several entry points for a dive, and registration is NOT required. Important note: Do not dive below or even in the area of the lifts at the Northbound wakeboard facility during operating hours!

The Blankenburg Lake, known to divers as “Blanki“, is a 21.5 hectare large and 16m deep rectangular quarry lake. Excavated for highway construction, the lake is now known as a fishing, diving and swimming lake. One of the entrances can be reached on the north bank from the parking lot via a trail.

The Kiessee Berum (also Kiessee Berumbur) is a dredging lake created by gravel mining in the joint municipality of Hage in the district of Aurich in East Frisia, Lower Saxony. It is located in the immediate vicinity of the spa center Hage-Berum.

Typical freshwater dredge lake with good parking and very good accessibility. The entrances are easy and can be mastered without problems for all levels of training.

The Stadtwaldsee in Bremen, also called Unisee because of its location, is a diving site for all levels of training that is perfect for Bremen divers to reach. There is a good entry point next to the footbridge at the Stadtwaldsee Nord car park.

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.

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.

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.

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.
