Switzerland

Bern

The Swiss canton of Bern is mostly a freshwater diving region. Access is typically based around lakes and river systems near the canton’s communities, with day trips focused on sheltered inland water and controlled conditions. Visibility and temperature can vary a lot by season and weather, and divers should expect low-to-moderate current depending on the exact spot. The dive offering is centered on recreational freshwater training and exploration, rather than open-ocean sites, with local centres organizing trips suited to typical lake or river profiles.
