About Möwensee
Möwensee is a freshwater lake dive with multiple entry points and a controlled access gate, known for very good visibility, steep quarry walls, and a mountainous underwater profile where compass work matters. The lake has little vegetation and deep water beyond the shallows, with perch shoals, pike near shore, catfish, crayfish, and crabs making it a strong freshwater training and exploration site.
