Green Lake, Austria (Pepe request)

[Grumpy_Nic]

Was scuba diving on friday and wanted to make some photos for Pepe but unfortunately the batteries for my camera flash were empty

so I used a gopro to capture some impressions. I'm not used to filming so its a bit wobbelydobbely but I hope you like it.

Its a lake in Styria (Austria) which usually dries up in autumn and fills in spring when the snow of the surrounding mountains is melting. Thus the water is usually pretty cold (6°C) but crystal clear. The weather was pretty rainy for the last days so its not perfectly clear but still amazing for a lake. In other lakes you sometimes dont see further than 2m.

I know couple lakes in my hometown that have clear water like that... Very beautiful lakes but dayum the bottom of the lake in your vid! I have never seen anything like that.

Very nais


That means in autumn you can go on the paths that you can See in the vid?

Exactly 
Sometimes, when the water rises even higher there is also a wooden bench thats underwater, looks pretty nice. That little bridge at the end is usually up in the dry aswell during autumn.
Its just great to be able to dive in a surrounding thats usually found only above water

WHAT THE FUCK ITS LIKE A DALE BUT UNDERWATER IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN HOLY SHIT

[FRANK_THE_TANK]

We should have plenty more cool places to dive in 50 years.

Holy Shit, that was a really cool Video Nic thanks for sharing, it really looks beautiful there I'm very jealous, is this in the Austrian Alps?

The clarity of that water as you say is stunning, I hope Climate Change wont fuck up these precious spots in the future. But like Frank said there may well be more things to dive for soon with rising sea level D:

Edit: I googled mapped it

aS DIVER irl i KNOW THIS PLACE AND DREAM TO GO THERE ONE DAY



You really filmed that ? Thanks for sharing..you made me dream a lot....

[Grumpy_Nic]

Yes, I filmed it 

Next weekend I'm going to dive in some other lakes, Fernsteinsee, Samarangersee and Blindsee which are also known for extremely good view. I'm gonna make some pictures and videos again. Pretty excited because I've never been there before and I've seen some pictures that look awesome. In perfect condition it looks like the divers are flying in the air because the water is so clear.
Hope we got that next weekend

The first eight seconds of it was probably the best thing I've ever seen.

[Sir_Hans]

Wow that is an awesome dive spot! Really good visibility and awesome views!

What was your max depth and did you use wetsuits or drysuits?


I just started diving a couple months ago (only have 12 dives logged), been doing at least a couple dives every weekend. Did my first night dive last weekend, I haven't started taking a camera but here's a picture of me on my 2nd dive for the open water certification in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.
