About Ilsesee
Ilsesee is a groundwater-fed quarry lake south of Augsburg with a protected underwater landscape, a dive base, and a reserved village area for qualified divers. The site mixes shallow shelves, steep walls, and canyons, so it rewards steady buoyancy and careful respect for zone rules. Clear freshwater and rich plant life make it a strong local lake dive in calm conditions.
