Aquanaut Darmstadt

You need a diving permit for the lake. The lake has changed a lot in the past years. Currently it has a maximum depth of 6 meters (previously 10)! The abundance of fish has changed a lot. There is hardly any vegetation left.

The Waidsee is located about 15 km northeast of Mannheim in Weinheim. The quarry pond, which was created at the end of the 60s by the mining of gravel (the A5 runs directly past it). Year-round access only via dive center.

The access to the Vogelstangsee near Mannheim is best reached via the gym parking lot. You can change your clothes directly on the parking lot or on the lawn. There are currently two “paved“ entry points. There are no toilets there.

With the enactment of the new public use regulation in May 2004, the leisure use of the Binsfeld Lakes was newly regulated. This particularly concerned divers with technical equipment. There is a diving ban from October 15th to May 31st every year. Permission is necessary for diving. Diving is bookable via GST.
