Dive-site story
Located where the Töss river meets the Rhine, this river dive delivers classic Swiss freshwater drift conditions. Divers navigate gravel beds, submerged timber, and scour holes along the riverbed while drifting downstream toward Eglisau. Good buoyancy control is essential to manage varying current speeds and stay clear of riverboat navigation lanes.
Dynamic river drift along the gravel banks and scouring zones of the Rhine
Sunken driftwood providing sheltered microhabitats for predatory fish
Clear visibility during dry winter and autumn spells
