Steep Lake Constance wall dive with an overhang
Steep Lake Constance wall dive with an overhang
Überlingen - Post is a Lake Constance wall dive with a shallow entry shelf that drops into a steep freshwater wall and a marked overhang. It is a serious cold-water site for experienced divers, with the route restricted to the left and the main draw being the wall structure, the clearer water on the face, and freshwater fish rather than easy sightseeing.
Conservative baseline from public research. No community dives logged yet.

Cold freshwater, a shallow shelf, a steep wall, and an overhang that becomes more pronounced deeper on the face.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
This is a challenging site and not suitable for novice divers. The steep wall with an overhang is often underestimated, and serious accidents have occurred. Diving is only allowed to the left.
Access Restrictions
Diving is only allowed to the left except for the annual Dreikönigstauchen exception.
Legal Notes
Follow the left-only rule, use the required Bodensee dive flag, and respect the parking and toilet etiquette at Parkhaus Post.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Experienced cold-water scuba only; bring drysuit, backup lights, and redundant gas if planning deeper wall work. The overhang is the main feature.
Freediving
Not a freedive site; the depth, cold water, and overhead section call for scuba and cold-water kit.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel site; the entry and wall are built for scuba, not casual surface swimming.
