A huge indoor freshwater dive basin in Duisburg for training and fun dives.
A huge indoor freshwater dive basin in Duisburg for training and fun dives.
Public diving is handled through the on-site dive basis.
An indoor freshwater training basin inside the Duisburg gasometer, built for courses, practice dives, and recreational sessions in a controlled environment. The huge circular tank feels surprisingly open, with enough space for skills work, new gear tests, and relaxed fun dives. It is a rare city dive site rather than a natural quarry or lake.
