Dive-site story
Situated on Lake Zurich near the Lindt factory in Kilchberg, Schoggiwand centers on an abrupt underwater cliff. An entry from the shore leads down a gradual slope before breaking into a sheer drop. Rocky ledges, overhangs, and submerged debris line the wall, where precise buoyancy control keeps the fine silt undisturbed.
