Dive-site story
Situated along the southern shore of Lake Zurich at the park point in Richterswil, this freshwater shore site offers accessible lake diving with a mix of shallow macrophyte zones and a steep, silty slope descending into deeper water. Divers regularly use the grassy park area for entry and exit, making it a staple training and recreational spot on the lake.
Lush shallow weed beds sheltering juvenile freshwater fish
Steep silt slope suited for buoyancy control practice and deeper profiles
Night diving opportunities to spot nocturnal lake predators on the prowl
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Colder months feature superior visibility beneath the thermocline, whereas warm summer months bring higher water temperatures but reduced water clarity due to algae.
