Hello,i come from this area the lake's depth is 32m but you are right it is very shallow around the coast

[JeromeSmeets]

@markosplace Hello, Thanks for the info. Do you know about where is that depth ? (center? close to the river from the mountain ?)

And what is the bottom like at 30m ?

I would like to check it this spring/summer.

Cheers.

The maximum depth I've heard about was 17m but I am not sure about that at all :)

What I know for sure is most of the lake is very very shallow ;)

@markosplace there is also an area that we locals call the 'eye' of the lake and that is because a part on the south-east side of the lake very close to the coast it looks very deep-dark blue water and its surrounded of shallow light green water.there are some of the underwater springs that supply the like with fresh water all year round.hope my info helps

@JeromeSmeets Hello,i'm not a diver myself but some friends of mine from finland did dive in our lake and they said that there is prety much nothing in that depth,the deepest part is close to the center and a bit to the mountain side.
