Straussee - Einstieg Tauchbasis is a shore-access freshwater dive based around a local dive center and a sandy-bank entry. It is an easygoing lake dive for scuba, snorkeling, and freediving, with the main appeal coming from underwater objects, platforms, and fish-rich shallows. The lake is compact enough for relaxed local sessions, but it still gives you wreck pieces, a diving bell, a pike tree, and other features to explore when the water is clear enough to read the scene.
