Žernovka - lom

A small quarry near Prague. There is no staff or diving facilities on site, everything works on trust. There is a space to set up your gear and stairs straight into the water. The entrance is a step into deep water, so it is not suitable for complete beginners.

In the quarry you can see a few pike and schools of small fish that stay near the surface at shallower depths.
