Germany
Bavaria

Bavaria is mostly inland, with diving dominated by freshwater sites rather than open-ocean saltwater. Around Munich and Starnberg, divers typically find lakes and river sections suitable for relaxed recreational training, with conditions that can vary strongly by season. As an administrative region in Germany, Bavaria is also well connected to nearby larger water bodies for day trips, but the core local experience is freshwater diving. Wildlife and visibility depend on location and time of year, and freshwater conditions often mean planning around temperature swings and currents where applicable. Use the local dive centers for current site access, entry options, and freshwater conditions.
