Kreidesee Hemmoor: shore quarry with wreck routes and clear water
Multiple shore entries, eight routes, and a clear flooded quarry make this a training-friendly but rule-heavy freshwater wreck site.
About Car Wrecks
Kreidesee Hemmoor is a flooded chalk quarry with multiple shore entries, a clear freshwater body, and route-based diving built around wrecks, walls, platforms, and training features. It mixes easy shallow attractions with deeper sections, so divers should choose an entry point and plan the route before dropping in. The site rewards cold-water discipline, buoyancy control, and a buddy plan more than raw speed or current management.
