TS-Buder Wildschütz: quarry walls, forest, and a deep training zone.
TS-Buder Wildschütz: quarry walls, forest, and a deep training zone.
TS-Buder Wildschütz is a shore-access freshwater quarry lake built for structured diving. A shallow training shelf opens into steep quarry walls, submerged forest, and scattered man-made features left from the quarry's working years. The site also keeps a deep technical section and plant-covered edges with plenty of fish, so it rewards controlled buoyancy, navigation, and deeper profiles rather than casual cruising.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Recreational diving is possible in the shallow zone, while the deep pump house around 70 m is for technical divers only.
Freediving
Freediving works best in the shallow sheltered zone; the deeper quarry profile is for advanced, well-supervised depth work.

Snorkeling is limited to the shallowest water and is secondary to scuba and freedive use.
