Überlingen – Seezeichen 24
On the road from Überlingen towards Sipplingen, sea mark 24 is a classic wall dive also known by its old name 'Baugraf'. The edge of the wall is visible from the steps; it drops to about 28–30 m, then a silt slope runs down to around 50 m and a steeper slope beyond 100 m. Westwards you find a small grotto with a mirror at the foot of the wall and remains of an old mine cart at about 13 m; eastwards a small rowing boat lies at about 27 m and the wall gets deeper. About 150 m offshore an underwater hill with canyons rises to about 32 m.
