About Bodensee - Wrack Jura
Bodensee - Wrack Jura is the famous Lake Constance wreck of the paddle steamer Jura, a landmark freshwater dive for experienced teams. The wreck is dived from a boat on a line, with a deep, cold-water profile and no-penetration expectations around the wooden hull. Plan for limited bottom time, careful buoyancy, and conditions that are usually more about visibility and temperature than surf. Perch and pike are the usual freshwater fish names tied to the lake.
