Kühlwasserauslass

Kühlwasserauslass is a local, man-made inlet dive site near Rostock, often used by local divers for training and short recreational dives. The site sits along a coastal outlet where warm water from a facility mixes with the Baltic Sea, creating mild conditions and relatively stable visibility in calm weather. Entry is straightforward from the shore or a nearby jetty, with a gentle slope and occasional rocky patches. Expect shallow depths and a sandy bottom with patches of seagrass and small marine life typical of Baltic shallows, such as small fish, crabs, and occasional cormorants seen at the surface. This site is best suited for beginners and for practicing buoyancy and skills in a nearby coastal setting, rather than a destination for long exploratory dives. Nearby towns Rostock, Elmenhorst/Lichtenhagen, and Nienhagen provide quick access, with the closest access point under a minute’s walk from the Rostock area.”,
