This dive site, located immediately after the Tiefenau Bridge in Worblaufen, Switzerland, offers a unique freshwater diving experience. Divers can enjoy unlimited circling in the river, exploring the riverbed and bridge structures. With a maximum depth of 4-5 meters, navigation is straightforward, primarily involving drifting with the gentle current and returning to the entry point. There is no specific historical information provided for the dive site itself beyond its location.
The site is teeming with diverse freshwater fish species, especially active after dusk. Divers can expect to encounter grayling, barbel, perch, whitefish, trout, pike, burbot, gudgeon, and bullhead, among many others. The variety of fish makes it an interesting spot for identifying local aquatic life.
The best time to visit this dive site is during the winter months, specifically after dark, when visibility is often improved and fish activity is high. This site is particularly well-suited for beginners and freedivers due to its shallow depth. Divers should be prepared for cold water conditions typical of river diving in Switzerland and be aware of varying current strengths depending on the river's runoff.
