Kreidesee Hemmoor - Einstieg 3

Just perfect for everything :-) Diving, camping, eating, barbecuing, clear views, good visibility, dogs allowed, playground and much more... we love it there.

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.

At the entrance 4B is a slightly sloping shore. At about 8m depth you will find the first car wrecks. If you dive after about 5 minutes over a plateau, you reach a break-off edge, which reaches to approx. 35m depth. Right hand along the edge is the wreck Hemmoor at about 17m.

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.

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.

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.

Flat, sheltered site, structured ground, concrete barge, parking space are only available to a limited extent depending on the season at the coffee are public toilets.

Beautifully situated base on the beach. Coastal reef to 12 m deep. The topography is fissured with many niches to dive through. The area is surrounded by sand and sea grass meadows.
