Switzerland

Merligen

Merligen is a small lake-side town in central Switzerland, not a coastal diving destination. The primary freshwater access is Lake Thun nearby and can be used for recreational diving via nearby centers in the Bernese Oberland region. There are 31 recorded dive sites in the broader dataset, but within Merligen itself, diving activity is limited and typically centers on training or shore-access dives arranged with operators in the region. For divers visiting, the area offers scenic alpine scenery, convenient road and rail access, and day trips to nearby lake diving sites around the Bernese Oberland.
