Dive-site story
Set along the steep northern shore of the Walensee, Strahlegg provides an atmospheric alpine freshwater dive characterized by sheer rock faces plunging into deep water. Divers explore stepped rock formations and sediment slopes before the terrain drops off into dark depths. Cold-water preparation is essential, as temperatures plunge rapidly below the upper surface layer.
