Lomeček (Starý Klíčov) – Atlantis
Former amphibolite quarry about 7 km south of Domažlice, leased to the Marine Domažlice club since 1996 and now a leisure park. The big draw is the Atlantis bell/caisson with the largest underwater observation cabin in the country, which non-divers can enter dry from the shore. Divers get a motorboat wreck, a training platform, a catfish of about 2 m and a fixed guide line around the quarry; maximum depth is about 10 m and visibility 5-8 m. A compressor, clubroom and toilets are on site.
