Diving in Austria??

[ZBePb]

dear friends, i'm going to Gruener see this weekend. who can tell me whats the situation there right now? water level is ok?
also, I'd like to visit other lakes nearby - Atten see and Wolfgang see. I know most diving shops are closed yet, but maybe, you know someone who can help - show diving locations etc. I have car, compressor, drysuit, can travel around

Definitly 7mm for diving in such countries like Austria and especialy if you use wetsuit

I will gather some more information aswel regarding Austria as I have friend of mine who dive in Switzeralnd wo went to Austria dived in a beautyfull lake and the hotel is a castle but I forgot the name of it, I'll post the right info as soon as possible.

Hi coolplay,

It is the Fernsteinsee/Samarangersee, www.fernsteinsee.at
I dive those lakes every year, especially the Samarangersee has about 60m visibility.

regards,
RolMar

Logged two dives in Achensee over the weekend. Stefan at Hotel Post am See took great care of me, providing nice rental gear (I brought my yoke reg and he had an adapter) and lining up a guide for the dives. Had a great time, water got down to 44 Fahrenheit at depth, vis was anywhere from 10-35’. Never got cold in a 7mm two piece. Saw quite a few perch, and a few sunken curiosities like this skeleton fisherman at 60’.
