Shore dive on a shallow Bodensee shelf with a steep wall.
Überlingen, Tennisplätze is a shore-access freshwater dive on a shallow, plant-covered shelf that works well for beginner and training dives. A steeper wall and deeper line sit farther out for divers who want more profile. Parking is close to the water, the shallow shelf is easy to reach, and the wall usually gives the clearest view when the lake is settled.
