Dive-site story
Located at the confluence where the Töss river meets the High Rhine between the cantons of Zurich and Schaffhausen, this freshwater river site is typically dived as a drift or an upstream eddy exploration. Divers enter from the riverbank to navigate submerged gravel banks, clay shelves, and fallen timber that shelter regional river fauna. The riverbed topography transitions from shallow pebble bars to carved riverbed hollows where fish gather out of the main flow.
