About this dive site

This dive site offers a unique and exciting experience. Entry is made directly at the Kiesstrand (gravel beach) below the Pakplatz, with diving flowing upstream in the countercurrent along the left bank of the river. Once you reach the upper section, prepare for an exhilarating ‘rollercoaster’ – navigate through the center, always keeping your direction towards the river flow, and when the current weakens, turn left and repeat the experience on the opposite side. You can expect to encounter species such as perch, sculpin, grayling, and trout, guaranteeing a varied and captivating dive. It's located remarkably close to the city of Bern!
