Starnberger See – Allmannshausen

Allmannshausen on the east shore of the Starnberger See is the lake's best-known wall dive, also called the Wasserwacht wall. Divers report dives to about 30 m along an impressive wall and recommend a torch because the water is dark and cold. Under the Starnberg general order, dives on air are limited to 40 m; deeper dives are only for certified technical divers.
