About Salzgittersee
Salzgittersee is a shallow freshwater former gravel lake in Salzgitter with a west-side shore entry, a marked underwater course, and simple inland training conditions. The dive zone suits beginner work and relaxed navigation practice, while the wider lake stays active with other water-sport users, so calm sessions and night dives work best when you stay on the marked route.
