Switzerland

Explore Switzerland

Switzerland, renowned for its breathtaking alpine landscapes, offers unique freshwater diving experiences that few other places can match. With over 1,500 lakes spread across a compact 41,277 square kilometers, divers can explore crystal-clear waters surrounded by snow-capped peaks. The lakes, such as Lake Geneva and Lake Lucerne, provide diverse opportunities for both recreational and technical diving. These glistening bodies of water are known for their impressive visibility, often exceeding 20 meters, making them ideal for observing submerged landscapes and aquatic life. 

For those seeking more adventurous diving, Switzerland's mountain reservoirs and quarries offer thrilling experiences. Altitude diving in places like Lake Maggiore combines the exhilaration of diving with the stunning backdrop of the Alps. The colder temperatures, often ranging from 4°C to 20°C/39°F to 68°F depending on the season, require divers to be well-prepared but reward them with encounters with unique freshwater species. Switzerland's diving scene may not include coral reefs, but its dramatic underwater topography and pristine conditions make it a hidden gem for divers seeking something truly different.
