Dive-site story
Located along the northern shore of Lake Thun, Ameisenegge—often referred to locally as Entenecke—is a freshwater shore dive characterized by sloping terrain that gives way to steep drop-offs and sediment shelves. Divers navigate among submerged timber, clay formations, and rocky outcroppings where native alpine lake fish seek shelter.
