Carinthian Lakes
Weissensee offers operator-led submerged-forest and wall itineraries from Techendorf and the Stockenboi east-shore base. Millstaetter See offers comfortable starter entries and demanding wall profiles with local guides.
Que faire en Austria ?
Choisissez une expérience, puis trouvez le lieu adapté. Les conditions et les accès varient selon la destination.
Attersee in Salzkammergut Lakes is the most practical cluster for signed shore entries, training and filling; Mondsee and Traunsee reward experienced wall divers. Carinthian Lakes adds Weissensee forests, Millstaetter See and the Woerthersee/Ossiacher See corridor, while Tyrol Mountain Lakes is for divers willing to plan exact permits and private-property rules. All are inland freshwater dives, often cold beneath a warmer surface, with no verified overnight dive liveaboard circuit.

Préparer votre voyage
For a first Austrian lake trip use Attersee with a guide and one main base. Choose Weissensee for an organized natural-history or specialist ice trip; combine Achensee with nearby mountain activities only after securing a license. Verify exact sites, access permission, air fills, thermal equipment, transport and post-dive route before booking. No deep walls, ice or overhead experiences should be described as beginner activities.

May to September for easiest multi-region planning
Freshwater may be thermally stratified, with deep water near 4°C in some lakes, changing visibility, sudden underwater walls, silt, fishing lines and passenger traffic. Some Tyrolean lakes sit at altitude, so computer settings, decompression planning and later mountain-pass travel matter. Do not treat a lake's maximum depth as a dive objective. Ice diving requires separate overhead training and professional team authorization.
