Tauchen in Tirol

High in the mountains above Innsbruck, Tauchen in Tirol offers something few dive centers can: guided journeys to the region's most beautiful and clearest mountain lakes. Diving here means keeping groups small — a maximum of four people — and marching in with your equipment to altitudes of over 2500 m, where a genuine adventure awaits.

Courses and what sets it apart

As a PADI 5 Star Dive Center with 3 PADI instructors, this Austrian center guides divers into unique mountain lake and ice dives that are its true highlight. Newcomers can begin with the Intro to PADI Open Water Diver [eLearning] course, roughly 2 hours, before heading out. An onsite training pool, classroom, and house reef round out the setup.

Facilities include air fills, nitrox, trimix and mixed gas, along with equipment sales and a full range of rental gear — from wetsuits and drysuits to rebreathers and scooters. With staff speaking English, German and Italian, it suits both first-time and experienced divers drawn to Tyrol's alpine waters.
