About Schlachtensee
Schlachtensee is a shallow freshwater lake in Berlin that works well for dive training, night dives, and relaxed shore sessions. In winter it becomes an ice-diving site, which turns the lake into a proper overhead environment. The shoreline is easy to reach, and the water is better treated as cool freshwater lake diving than as a coral or open-sea experience.
