About this dive site

This dive site, located at Brougier Park near the Elefäntli rock formation in Vitznau, Switzerland, offers an interesting underwater experience. Access is via a short walk from the main road and parking available before the Unterwilen bus stop. The area features a steep wall descending from the entrance, with an alternative entry point to a gravel beach. The dive site is suitable for experienced divers due to its sloping bottom and potential for strong currents. While primarily known as a scenic location, it occasionally hosts non-divers in the summer. You might encounter freshwater fish like Egli, heaths, and trushes. The entrance involves climbing over stone blocks. There are no permanent restroom facilities, but the area is accessible from Weggis via a short walk to the Vitznau outer signpost. Depth information isn't explicitly stated, but it’s a moderately deep dive.
