Guláška (Senec) – DiveINN
One of the clearest lakes in western Slovakia, a former sand and gravel pit on the edge of Senec, around 14–15 m deep on average with a 17 m hollow. Underwater there are grassy and rocky slopes, sunken cars and boats, a cable reel, an excavator bucket, an overturned bathtub and a heap of about 50 tyres. Fish include carp, pike and wels catfish; in October dozens of young european eel gather along the shore at 3 m. Usual visibility is 7–10 m. The DiveINN dive resort on the north shore has guarded parking, toilets and shelters.

- Tips: Dive from the DiveINN base on the north shore: only one paved road leads there (from Senec via Železničná street) and since 2024 the track around the lake is closed by a barrier at the end of the divers' road. The lake officially has a swimming and water-sports ban that is widely ignored, so come on weekdays or very early at weekends. Do not breathe the air trapped in the bathtub. Entry is paid at the base.
