About this dive site

This dive site, located at Eichwald in Brunnen, is a popular spot particularly well-suited for dive training and beginners. Access is straightforward with parking directly at the entrance, and an equipment table is available for convenience. Divers simply cross the road carefully to reach the entrance, which leads into the calm waters of the lake. There is no specific history or complex navigation mentioned, implying a relatively simple lake bottom dive.

The underwater environment hosts various marine life typical of a freshwater lake. In summer, the near-shore areas are bustling with numerous Eglis (European Perch), making it an engaging spot for observing smaller fish. Occasionally, divers may also spot a few Pikes lurking, adding an element of excitement with larger predatory fish.

While no specific 'best time to visit' is highlighted, the mention of Eglis in summer suggests this season offers good opportunities for observing active fish life. The site's characteristics make it excellent for both scuba divers and freedivers looking to practice skills or enjoy a relaxed dive in a controlled environment. Always exercise caution when crossing the road to the dive entry point.
