Dive-site story
Situated along Lake Lucerne where the Steinibach flows into the basin, this freshwater dive site features an underwater alluvial cone created by river runoff. Divers descend over sediment terraces scattered with sunken driftwood, branches, and gravel deposits. The bottom transitions from gentle sandy flats into a steep drop-off leading into deep, colder water layers.

Sunken river debris providing shelter for predatory freshwater fish
Clear winter visibility typical of Swiss alpine lakes
