Dive-site story
Located along the southern-facing shore of Lake Lucerne near Gersau, Kindli is renowned among Swiss lake divers for its sheer rock face. The underwater profile begins with a brief gravel slope that quickly breaks off into dramatic vertical cliffs and jagged ledges dropping into dark depths. Cold, clear conditions often prevail below the thermocline, revealing rock formations etched by alpine runoff.
Steep vertical cliff system dropping far into the abyss of Lake Lucerne
