This dive site is Lake Laffrey, a mountain lake located at 1000m altitude, offering a unique freshwater diving experience less than 30 minutes from Grenoble. Divers can explore the lake bottom to observe local fauna and discover various 'surprises' deposited over time. Navigation is generally straightforward, exploring the rich shallow areas and gradually descending to the maximum depth.
The lake is teeming with life, especially in the 0-6m zone where numerous perch can be found. Encounters with pike, sometimes very large, are recurrent, providing exciting moments. Many crayfish are also surprised throughout the dive site, adding to the variety of observed lake fauna.
Laffrey is an ideal spot for evening dives on sunny days after work or leisurely weekend explorations. The site highlights the opportunity to observe freshwater ecosystems. Divers should be prepared for potentially cooler water temperatures typical of a mountain lake. It is also well-suited for freedivers due to its accessible depth and interesting aquatic life.
