Gunten

Gunten is a lakeside village in Switzerland, near Lake Thun in the Bern region. It’s not a coastal diving destination, but the area serves as a gateway to freshwater diving opportunities in nearby Lake Thun and other Swiss quarries and lakes, typically offering training and local dive centers in regional towns. Water conditions are cold and clear, with visibility varying seasonally. For divers, the primary value here is access to freshwater dive sites and a calm, scenic base for a Swiss diving trip rather than traditional saltwater reef diving.
