Steinbruch Pinkvoss: club quarry with shallow freshwater dives.
Club-managed access, fenced entry, and a daily diver cap mean you need to coordinate with the local club or school.
Steinbruch Pinkvoss, Kirchberg is a club-managed quarry dive on the edge of Kirchberg, reached from the main road and used for recreational training for decades. The quarry’s shallow freshwater layout, training platform, and old quarry relics make it a controlled easygoing dive rather than an open-access lake, while fenced entry, advance registration, and a daily diver cap keep the site orderly.

Club-managed access rules apply; respect the fencing, registration requirement, and daily limit.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Good for buoyancy practice, training, and relaxed quarry dives. Expect shallow depths, relics, and freshwater fish rather than big scenery.
Freediving
Only shallow practice makes sense here; the site is primarily organized for scuba and club-managed training.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is limited by access control and low visibility, so the site is mainly a scuba training and fun-dive water.
