Week-long tours include at least 2 overnight stays and can be extended at will. However, they require precise planning and organisation of the necessary logistics.
I can glady suggesth the best accommodations and hotels, starting from 4 stars. Our route to the various dive sites may lead over higher altitudes, Therefore, after having dived in certain lakes, it is necessary to keep one day free of diving, in order to avoid a possible DCS. But I can assure you that the spa areas of the hotels are all worth it.
In order to protect certain lakes and dive sites, I am describing 4 standard tours, below. Of course these can be extended, even completely new tours can be arranged with possible routes from Geneva, Milano via Lichtenstein and Munich, via Salzburg to Vienna. With 590 lakes and 15 rivers, we can spend months diving without getting bored. Mountain lakes have many historical secrets and hidden worlds. Let yourself be inspired by a personal conversation.

The 100.000 fish tour keeps the promise of its name. It can be booked starting from 2 overnight stays and can be extended up to further 7 days.
In Austria the tour starts at Salzburg, leads us to Mariazell, up to Wels. It includes 3 to 4 lakes as well as “scuben” in the river. You will visit a fish petting zoo and explore fish in a river.
Never before will you be so close to freshwater fish. Besides normal dive sessions with compressed air tanks you will be able to drift in a river for up to 60 minutes. This entails another very special attraction, as fish in rivers are much more colourful than fish in lakes.

Dive at two very special places in Austria. Such unspoiled beauty is hard to find and is a very special secret tip.
For this tour you have to plan at least 3 overnight stays.
There are over 10 different entrances at one lake alone and I promise you, two days of diving will not be enough for you. The third overnight stay and one day dive-free, you must include to avoid a typical DCS caused by mountain passes.

The diamonds of the mountain lakes can be found in the west of Austria. This tour includes 3 lakes and a minimum of 3 overnight stays. It might be inconspicuous from the shore, just a calm, small lake, but the reflection in the water is immediately noticeable. As soon as you dive behind this mirror, an undreamt-of magnitude will appear in front of you. Visibilities of at least 30 to 80 meters are as good as guaranteed. You will leave our everyday planet completely for the duration of your dive. There is rarely a need for words after these dive sessions.
This tour is especially eligible for nightly dive sessions.
Tip:
Book the tour at full moon.

Two check-dive-sessions and diving with stage bottles (MOD20) are mandatory. The tour takes you to places you can only reach by boat. Steep walls everywhere up to 30 meters +.
It is very cold, very dark – psycho. Mentally extremely demanding.
