About this dive site

This dive site is located near Zug, accessible via the Seestrasse towards Arth. Shortly after Oberwil, a parking area sits before a small forest in a left-hand curve on the right side of the road. It’s possible to spot common freshwater fish like perch, trout, and grayfish while walking through the woods – a pleasant bonus for land-based exploration. Several trails wind through the woodland leading to a gravel beach; please be cautious as it can become slippery when wet. The left portion of the bay is relatively shallow, whereas the more challenging dive area lies on the right side. After traversing a seagrass bed, approximately 10-12 meters below the surface and immediately after the diving platform, an interesting wall emerges. Scattered branches provide shelter for juvenile fish.
