Best for advanced divers, 10-80m, shore & boat entry, moderate current.
Locum is a deep freshwater site in the Lausanne-Montreux area featuring a combination of reef and wall topography. The site drops sharply from 10 metres to a maximum depth of 80 metres, requiring advanced technical skills and precise buoyancy control. Divers encounter moderate currents and variable visibility, which can significantly alter conditions. A distinct thermocline exists, with temperature fluctuations of approximately 10°C over a 2-metre span. Due to the significant depth and complex structure, divers must manage entanglement risks and plan gas requirements carefully. Entry is possible from both shore and boat, though local conditions should be assessed prior to arrival.
