12Matschelsee
Interresting dive site for the region. Quite deep. Water may be very(!) cold and visibility poor. If not experienced with bad conditions make sure you don't go to deep. The lake belongs to a private person. Access may become restricted or forbidden. On the Highway A5 take the Exit Lahr then direction Allmannsweier and Kürzell. At the intersection take a right turn instead of going in the direction of Kürzell.

17Glienicker See
Not one of the top-notch sites, but very easy to reach by car. Nice "after-work" dive site :) From Ritterfelddamm turn into Uferpromenade and follow the street for app. 200m. To your right you will spot a gate and beyond that a large lawn, leading to the waterfront. Just leave the car somewhere near the gate but DON'T BLOCK the gate! As this is an emergency "entrace" to the lake for the police and emergency physicians (your car will otherwise be towed - fee for being towed is app. 250$ in Germany) Glienicker See is also known as Pferdekoppel.

18Baggersee Diez
It is an old quarry, the rock formations are impressive! There is an underwater trail created along a cable for divers. There is an old VW Beetle, a tube to dive through, two platforms and a tent with a doll and a bike. The lake is host to a good number of perches, a big pike and a sturgeon. You will also find a lot of mussels, crayfish and even freshwater jellyfish. The lake is privately owned and open to divers and swimmers for a fee. Particularly on sunny weekends or during the summer vacations, the lake can be extremely crowded with swimmers, and the visibility is extremely poor in that period. Best to visit in April and May (cold, but very good vis). The lake is closed from October to April. Divers need to make a reservation, as numbers allowed to dive at one time is limited (35 divers). Contact and further info under http://baggersee-diez.de/ Baggersee Diez is also known as Steinbruch Limburg / Diez.
