Due to the alpine environment, the water remains cold throughout the year. It is essential to apply altitude dive planning protocols and use adjusted tables or an altitude-capable dive computer to account for the elevation. The site is suited for advanced divers who are prepared for the specific challenges of cold-water, high-altitude diving.
