Friedberger See is a dredged freshwater lake near Augsburg with a varied underwater landscape, training-style features, and good shore access. Sunken objects, plant growth, and a lively mix of carp, pike, perch, and other freshwater fish make the site engaging for both training and fun dives. It is a permit-based shore dive with real on-land infrastructure, so the best experience comes from planning around opening hours and seasonal visibility.
