Switzerland
Vaud
Vaud is a mostly landlocked Swiss canton in the Alps, with limited diving relevance. The region itself offers little in the way of sea diving, as its waters are freshwater and not connected to major saltwater dive zones. Nearby diving opportunities are typically found abroad or in neighboring cantons with lakes or river systems. For divers visiting Vaud, the focus tends to be on mountains, lake accessibility, and local culture rather than on field dive sites.
