Areuse Schlucht

Areuse Schlucht is a freshwater dive site in the Neuchâtel region of Switzerland, set along the Areuse Gorge. Depths are typically shallow to moderate as the river evolves into a calm lake bottom in parts, with visibility varying by season and water flow. Access is straightforward from nearby towns; divers commonly explore clear sections of the river and the lake shoreline, with a mix of sheltered coves and deeper channels. Expect typical freshwater species and calm conditions suitable for training dives, drift dives in slower currents, and macro life along the riverbed. Always check local regulations and currents before entering, and be mindful of water levels following rainfall.
