Dive-site story
Located on the eastern shore of Lake Lucerne near Brunnen, Eichwald is a classic Swiss lake dive known for its dramatic underwater topography and sunken objects. Divers enter from the shore and descend over a rocky slope that rapidly turns into a steep wall dropping into dark, cold depths. The primary attraction is the wreck Bruno, a small sunken vessel resting along the slope alongside scattered debris, fallen trees, and bedrock ledges.
