It brings you down 4 meters to 1 meter above the bottom of the sea. There are different <em>Tauchgondeln<\/em>, four in total, namely in Zinnowitz, Sellin, Zingst and Gr\u00f6mitz. They are all located at the\u00a0<em>Ostsee\u00a0<\/em>(Baltic Sea), and can take up to 30\u00a0<em>Besucher\u00a0<\/em>(visitors) with them. The first one, in Zinnowitz, was opened in 2006. The others came in the following years, with Zingst being the last in 2013.

And to compensate for that, the\u00a0<em>Tauchgondeln\u00a0<\/em>have 3D videos that show the\u00a0<em>Meeresleben\u00a0<\/em>(marine life) more closely.
