This dive site, Creux de Genthod, is located on Lac Leman (Lake Geneva) in Switzerland, accessible by a 10-minute boat ride from Geneve Plage. The dive begins on a gentle plateau at 6-7 meters before a slope descends from 10 meters to a maximum of 35 meters. It's known as a pleasant drift dive suitable for divers of all experience levels, navigating through extensive forests of aquatic plants. There is no specific history or story provided for this site, but it's a popular local spot for freshwater diving.
The marine life visible at Creux de Genthod includes various freshwater species. Divers can observe crayfish in their holes nestled amongst the aquatic vegetation, as well as pikes and perches swimming through the plant forests. While a diverse range of lake inhabitants can be found, no silures (catfish) have been reported yet at this particular location.
The best time to visit this dive site would generally be during warmer months for more comfortable conditions, though specific seasonal highlights are not mentioned. It is an excellent spot for photographers interested in macro subjects (crayfish, plant details) and wide-angle shots of the underwater forests. The gentle drift makes it an enjoyable experience for both scuba divers and freedivers seeking an accessible freshwater adventure.
