Thun

Thun is a lakeside city in the Swiss canton of Bern, situated on Lake Thun with easy access to freshwater diving opportunities in the region. While the city itself sits inland, divers often use Thun as a gateway to nearby lake dives (clear alpine waters, structured shore access, and underwater visibility typical of Swiss lakes). Local diving activity centers on training and shore dives in freshwater and nearby venues in the Bernese Oberland. The city is more of a travel hub for divers visiting the region, with scenic surroundings, efficient transport, and reliable water conditions for practice and recreational dives.
