Dive-site story
Situated along the northwest shore of Lake Neuchâtel, Boudry Plage serves as one of Switzerland's most popular freshwater training and recreational dive sites. Divers enter from a gently sloping gravel beach into clear shallows before descending along underwater trails marked by various submerged attractions, including statues, small boat wrecks, and training platforms. Deeper sections drop down a steeper silt-and-clay slope that attracts advanced cold-water divers.
Submerged life-size fiberglass shark statue anchored along the underwater trail
Multiple artificial attractions including sunken dinghies, training platforms, and sculptures
Lush underwater vegetation zones harboring schools of juvenile perch and hunting pike
Easy shore access equipped with on-site diver facilities
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Autumn and winter offer the best visibility, though summer brings warmer surface waters and comfortable staging on the beach.
