Switzerland

Krattigen

Krattigen is a small Swiss town in the Bern region. It’s not a coastal diving destination, as Switzerland is landlocked and Krattigen sits inland near Lake Thun. Practical diving relevance comes from nearby Swiss centers focused on training in controlled environments or access to freshwater sites across the country, including lakes and quarries, rather than sea diving. For divers visiting Switzerland, the focus is typically on training courses, drysuit use, and exploring freshwater wrecks or caverns within reasonable travel from Bern. Overall, Krattigen itself offers limited diving activity directly, but the broader region provides options for divers seeking education, logistics, and access to freshwater dive sites.
