Dive Spot Guide•
Nonnenweier Vogelsee
Nonnenweier Vogelsee is a deep quarry lake for advanced dives.
Plan for a back-shore entry with a substantial gear walk and expect clear, deep quarry water with little surface fuss.
About Nonnenweier Vogelsee
Nonnenweier Vogelsee is a deep quarry lake in Schwanau with steep underwater walls, a dredger, and strong fish life. The site suits advanced divers because the main draw is the depth profile and big underwater structure rather than a casual shallow circuit. Parking is near the lake, but the marked dive entry sits on the back shore and requires a gear walk. Clear water and depth make it a strong planned scuba day rather than a casual swim stop.
