Jezioro Hańcza – west shore ('druga strona')
The west shore has no practical land access (steep forested hill) and is reached by boat or platform from the east side, with a marked buoy and weighted line to guide the descent. Nurkomania lists a red-tinted wall at 30-40 m, a clay wall with holes at about 24 m, a rise to about 6 m with a valley to about 15 m and a boulder field at 15-25 m. Seaquest notes dives here go beyond 50-60 m and are for experienced divers only.
