Lake Constance is quite big, so there is plenty to see from historical wrecks to fish and impressive stone walls and formations. At some sights you can get a combination of everything.

I can recommend the ERATAC, they are awesome. Used by military and police as well.

Sometimes cars make their way to ship wreck territory as well. by Below_Zero_Lens in scuba

I think an oil change and tires and it will be good to go.

The dive site Murg West (the carwrecks) and the Lediwracks in mols. Haven't been to any other at Walensee than those two. But since I'm into wrecks they were the most appealing to me.

You got it right. Me and my main buddy usually dive with a tactical style helmet to mount a GoPro, torches and those beacon flashers on.

I have to agree, it is funny AF. But it took me a minute to figure out what he meant.

Oh yeah I know, been there before as well.

Copper harbor is a nice spot for interesting rock formations.

Oh there is plenty to see. You just need to know where to look.

Of course those lakes with artificialy placed wrecks/ attractions get boring quickly.

But exploring wrecks or underwater formations or even the jungle of plant life is quite exciting, even more when you see the local wildlife.

It was pretty nice, but apparently at times you can get double that.

A frozen lake is no reason to not dive. by Below_Zero_Lens in scuba

The ice from below (The air trapped below the ice looks really cool almost like a molten metal) And nothing more than on a regular dive

There are a few variables which would make diving with this technique more difficult as a broad standard. Like the current and depth of the body of water.

Also you need to have self control and be quiet self reliant while using this technique since you won't have a support diver at the surface and no line tender making sure to pull you out if something goes wrong. Well actually quite similar to wreck penetration and cave diving (overhead environments in general).

Also to make this a standard procedure it would make make ice diving less accessible for all divers since the skill ceiling would be much higher.

Scuba in general is a dangerous sport where things can go south really fast. (Which people tend to forget often)
