Dive-site story
Set high in the Rhaetian Alps of Graubünden, diving at the Flüela Pass centers around glacial alpine lakes like the Schottensee and Schwarzsee. The environment presents clear, cold water framed by boulder fields, submerged scree slopes, and silty depressions. Diving at this extreme elevation demands strict high-altitude decompression protocols, specialized thermal protection, and deliberate buoyancy control to avoid disturbing fine lake sediments.
