Best for intermediate divers, 10m, shore entry.
Alter Stollen is a wall dive in Lake Lucerne, Switzerland, characterised by a steep drop-off reaching depths of 54 metres. This shore-entry site requires careful depth management and navigation, as visibility typically ranges between 5 and 10 metres. The wall provides a habitat for temperate freshwater fish and invertebrates typical of the region. Given the significant depth, divers must plan their profiles conservatively to manage decompression requirements. Parking is available directly at the site, facilitating gear transport. This location is suited for intermediate divers who possess the necessary training for deep diving and can maintain precise buoyancy control along the wall.
