Dive-site story
Located along the shoreline of Lake Lucerne between Vitznau and Gersau, this steep wall site plunges rapidly into the depths. Divers follow a rocky incline down to submerged curiosities, including the site's namesake figure Bruno mounted along the slope. Visibility changes dramatically between summer algae layers and clear winter waters, with dark rock faces and fissures dominating the profile.
Steep limestone drop-off typical of Lake Lucerne
Submerged man-made artifacts including the Bruno figure
Excellent winter clarity below the cold thermocline
Sheltered rocky crevices where freshwater predators hold in the shadows
