Sallacher Strandbad

The large shoal off Maria Wörth lies in the middle of Lake Wörthersee between Pörtschach and Maria Wörth. The dive site can only be reached by boat. The dive site offers great steep walls on several sides and in the shallow water area a fascinating vegetation with lots of life.

At this dive site, you will find a nice steep wall. Due to the depth, this dive site is only suitable for experienced divers. The entrance is via a parking lot and a small slope that leads into the lake.

A dive site accessible from the shore, suitable for beginners in the shallow water area, with steep walls, vegetation and great rock formations. For advanced divers, the thermocline can be crossed here and there are remnants of warlike times (please do not touch anything).

Directly from the entrance you can dive either left shoulder or right shoulder directly into the depth. The shallow shore area offers a great diving experience for beginners with many sunken trees and rocks. Below the thermocline (from about 15-20m) you will find great rock formations and steep walls.

After the somewhat challenging entrance (3m slope into the lake) you dive along the right shoulder of the steep wall. Both in the shallow area up to 10m and under the thermocline in the range 15-30m the dive site offers impressive walls. Occasionally you can find mighty trees at the bottom of the lake.

The dive site offers a nice garden-like area for buoyancy practice. There are two platforms, some fixtures, a sunken car, and some vegetation.

In the exclusive Loretto lido in Klagenfurt am Wörthersee there is a diving center. There are artificial fixtures such as carriages, buoyancy control playgrounds, tree trunks, and a practice platform at 3.5m deep.

Training pool for exercise lessons. Size 8x13 and 2,2m deep. Ideal for all pool units of beginner programs and for training sessions for further education. The water temperature is about 30 degrees Celsius.

The Silbersee, located to the west of Villach in the immediate vicinity of the Drava River, is an artificial body of water that was created in the 1970s by gravel extraction in the groundwater area. In the eastern part of the lake there is a platform and on the southern side there is the restaurant “Silbersee Ranch.“

From the first car park you can reach the shore via the embankment. From here you dive towards the island. The island can be easily circumnavigated. In the northeastern part of the island you will always meet very big pike.
