Kreidesee Hemmoor - Einstieg 5

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.

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.
