About Stausee Soboth
Stausee Soboth is a high-elevation reservoir dive in southern Austria where the flooded mine shoreline drops into steep stone walls and dark, mineral-streaked water. It suits experienced cold-water divers who want a rocky lake wall, shifting light, and freshwater fish rather than a reef profile, with summer bringing the most comfortable conditions and the clearest water.

Local Intel For Stausee Soboth
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Cold-water lake diving with steep wall profiles and freshwater fish, best approached as a controlled shore dive.
Freediving
Not a casual freedive site; the wall drops quickly and the darker water suits controlled scuba more than relaxed breath-hold exploration.
Snorkeling
The shallow edge can be explored from the surface, but the site is mainly a scuba lake because it drops away quickly.
