About Via Sport Diving Marina - Koparki
Via Sport Diving Marina - Koparki is a former dolomite quarry in Jaworzno that now functions as one of Poland's best-known inland dive bases. The flooded basin centers on two giant excavators left underwater after the quarry closed, along with other submerged industrial features, jetties, and a purpose-built shore entry setup. The site is used year-round for training and recreational dives. Calm freshwater, direct base support, equipment rental, and on-site amenities make it straightforward to plan a dive, while visibility and crowding vary with season and traffic.
