Strandbad Thun

Strandbad Thun is a lakeside dive site on Lake Thun in Switzerland. The site is shallow and accessible from the lakeshore, making it suitable for training dives and snorkel carries into the water from the public swimming area. Dives typically explore calm, clear freshwater with moderate visibility and a gentle slope from the shore. Expect aquatic life typical of Alpine freshwater conditions, including small to medium-sized perch, roach, carp, and various freshwater invertebrates, with underwater vegetation along the littoral zone. Access is convenient for locals and visitors staying in Thun, Hilterfingen or Spiez, all within a few kilometers, and many divers combine a lake dive with a surface interval on the pleasant lakeside amenities.
