You'll need to buy a ticket for diving; unfortunately that's only sold at the "Villa Olympia", located at the parking area "P3" (Stallagsberg 2) on the western side of the lake. Opening Hours are Tue and Thu from 17:00 - 19:00 and weekends on Sat. morning. Price is 6,40 / day; on weekends an add. 2,50 is due for parking.
The dive site itself is best from June/July till October (visibility!) and sometimes also brilliant during the winter time. But: Icediving is forbidden there (several accidents happend...).
There are huge schools of fish (perch?) and some really BIG pikes as well as the one or the other catfish.
Max depth is some 15m, but due to thermocline at about 6m (with very poor vis below), the most interesting area is in the range of 3-6m.
