BANTER SEE
Duitsland, Niedersachsen
The Banter See is an interesting dive site. It's a former war port for submarines separated from the sea by a dam. The water in the harbor basin is still brackish but is becoming sweeter as a result of rainfall. The underwater scene consists of a large amount of war gear from World War II, such as an old dock for submarines, torpedo tubes, bunkers, shipwrecks, car wrecks, a reef made of tires and much more. The Banter See is very large, several dives can be made at different locations. Make sure to contact the local diving schools in advance before diving.
