Dive-site story
Located along the southern shore of Lake Walen, Tiefenwinkel offers steep alpine freshwater diving. Divers enter from the shoreline and descend along a sloping bed of silt and stone that quickly transitions into a dramatic underwater drop-off. Sunken timber, rocky ledges, and sheer rock structures characterize the deeper sections.
Steep submerged rock walls dropping quickly into deep cold water
Submerged root systems and fallen tree trunks harboring freshwater fish
Excellent winter visibility typical of deep Swiss alpine lakes
