Fort VII (“Zbarż”) – is one of the forts of the outer ring of the Warsaw Fortress, built in the 1880s. The previous one is Fort VI “Okęcie” and the next one is Fort VIII “Służew”.

The maximum logged depth during this dive is 4.3 metres in open water, inside the neck barracks max 1.5 metres. Visibility about 4 metres! Water temperature 4st.C. Underwater we managed to locate a large boat, probably omega class, as well as other artefacts visible in the photos.

We took the opportunity to measure the depth in the reservoir located further south. Unfortunately, contrary to earlier reports of great depth, we managed to find about 2-3 meters. In addition, the visibility is much worse in this southern reservoir, which we checked with a camera on a line.
