Diving2000 - Hemmoor - Kreidesee - Maj 2023

Når du tænker på Tyskland, er dykning nok ikke lige det første du kommer i tanke om (Med mindre du selvfølgelig allerede har haft glæden af, at dykke i Hemmoor). Det skal vi snart få lavet om på. Ca. 65km vest for Hamborg ligger en gammel kridtgrav. I midten af 1850'erne opdagede man at området og jorden omkring Hemmoor i Tyskland indeholdte væsentlige mængder af kul og kalk, hvorfor man oprettede en cementfabrik i det område der i dag kendes som Hemmoor Kreidesee.
Op gennem det 20. århundrede var der stor aktivitet, og der blev trukket arbejdskraft til byen fra det meste af Tyskland, så der omkring år 1910 var mere end 2000 arbejdere tilknyttet kalkbrudet og cementfabrikken. I tiden efter 2. verdenskrig, frem mod slutningen af 1970'erne, fandt man koncentrationen af kalk mindskene, hvorfor man nedlagde kalkgraven og lod den oversvømme med grund- og regnvand. Dele af den oprindelige cementfabrik lod man være, for at støtte kalkgravens stejle skrænter mod sammenstyrtning.
I dag findes, midt i byen Hemmoor en kæmpe dykkerattraktion med en dybde på 60 meter, en sigt der snildt når 20 meter, og naturlige seværdigheder der med tidens løb er blevet suppleret med vrag af flyvemaskine, lastbil og skibsvrag - grundet vandets renhed og temperatur kan du endda på lavt vand, opleve en undersøisk skov. Hemmoor er i dag et dykkermekka, der tiltrækker dykkere fra hele verden, og tilbyder dykning for enhver smag fra 0 til 60 meters dybde.

When you think of Germany, diving is probably not the first thing that comes to mind (unless, of course, you have already had the pleasure of diving in Hemmoor). But that's about to change. About 65km west of Hamburg lies an old chalk pit. In the mid-1850s, it was discovered that the area and the soil around Hemmoor in Germany contained significant amounts of coal and limestone, which led to the establishment of a cement factory in the area now known as Hemmoor Kreidesee.
Throughout the 20th century, there was a lot of activity, and labor was drawn to the town from all over Germany, so by around 1910, there were more than 2,000 workers associated with the limestone quarry and the cement factory. In the post-World War II period, until the late 1970s, the concentration of limestone decreased, leading to the closure of the limestone quarry, which was then flooded with groundwater and rainwater. Parts of the original cement factory were left intact to support the steep slopes of the quarry from collapsing.
Today, in the middle of the town of Hemmoor, there is a massive diving attraction with a depth of 60 meters, excellent visibility reaching up to 20 meters, and natural sights that have been supplemented over time with wreckage of airplanes, trucks, and shipwrecks. Due to the purity and temperature of the water, you can even experience an underwater forest in shallow areas. Hemmoor is now a diving mecca that attracts divers from all over the world, offering diving experiences for every taste, from 0 to 60 meters deep.
