Fenalet, also known as La falaise bikini, is a freshwater shore dive located on the Swiss side of Lake Geneva. The site is defined by a submerged cliff face that drops from 3 metres down to 30 metres, with an average depth of 15 metres. A wreck serves as the primary feature for divers exploring the area. Visibility typically ranges between 5 and 15 metres. Due to the significant depth and potential for heavy surface boat traffic, divers must maintain proper buoyancy control and deploy a surface marker buoy during ascent. Parking is available at the site, facilitating gear transport for this intermediate-level dive.
