Richterswil is a small town on the north shore of Lake Zurich in Switzerland. While Switzerland is landlocked and has no sea diving, Richterswil lies within easy reach of freshwater diving options within the region. Local dive activity is driven by nearby dive centers that offer entry courses and pool sessions, with most freshwater diving done in quarry or lake sites around Zurich and the lake system. The town itself is a convenient base for accessing weekend dive trips in the broader lake area, plus training opportunities for beginners and divers building skills near urban centers.
