About this dive site

This dive site, located on the shores of Lake Zug, offers easy shore access from a large car park and a popular barbecue area. Navigation is straightforward, making it an excellent spot for recreational diving. While there's no specific historical narrative for the underwater site, its convenience makes it a local favorite for both divers and non-divers enjoying the lakeside.

The freshwater ecosystem supports a variety of marine life. Divers can expect to encounter Eglis (perch), burbot, sunfish, and crayfish, which are reliably observed throughout the year. The site provides good opportunities for observing smaller freshwater species in their natural habitat.

Arth, Egg is a good year-round destination, particularly for observing its resident aquatic animals. Its shallow to moderate depths make it ideal for both divers and freedivers seeking relaxed underwater exploration. Remember that Swiss lakes can have cold water, so appropriate thermal protection is recommended.
