Shallow forested quarry with rocks and fish
Shallow forested quarry with rocks and fish
A shallow freshwater forest of rocks and submerged trees, with a silty slope leading into deeper water close to shore. The site suits controlled route work and relaxed freshwater exploration more than fast swimming, because the terrain changes quickly once you leave the shallow top. It is better approached as a quiet training-style dive than as a long sightseeing run.
