Sheltered marina training dive with playful props.
Hohe Düne is a sheltered training dive beside the floating dive center in Rostock's harbor area. The shallow basin is set up with playful underwater props, including a telephone booth, desk, Christmas tree, anchor, and training platform, so the dive feels like a compact skills circuit rather than a long swim. It suits beginners and easy checkouts when you want a straightforward entry, simple navigation, and a site that stays focused on practice.
Site Conditions
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Very shallow scuba diving with man-made objects and a training platform to explore.
Freediving
Very shallow and easy to read, but best kept to short practice sessions because visibility and water temperature can be limiting.
Snorkeling
Possible in calm conditions, with the playful props and shallow basin making it more interesting than a plain harbor swim.
