Großer Krämersee, Monheim is a former freshwater lake dive site in Monheim am Rhein with a simple training-lake layout, platforms, and historically good visibility. It was once used by a local dive basis for practice dives and easy lake sessions, but the site is now closed to diving after the city ended the usage rights, so it should be treated as a historical reference rather than an active dive destination.
