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.

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.

The Banter See is a large rectangular 22m deep sailing, diving, surfing and swimming lake. Separated from the North Sea by the Grodendamm embankment, the lake still has a slight salt content today. Ruins, the bow of a harbor barge and blown-up quays can be found on site due to the war.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
