Best for beginner divers, 20-40m, shore entry.
La Madonne is a shore-entry freshwater dive site located in the Lausanne-Montreux area of the Lake Geneva region. The site features a reef structure that extends from 20 to 40 metres in depth. With no current, it provides a manageable environment for beginners, though the deeper sections require appropriate training and experience. Visibility typically ranges between 5 and 10 metres, necessitating close buddy contact. As facilities are not guaranteed on-site, divers should arrive fully prepared with all necessary equipment. Due to cold water temperatures, particularly at depth, a drysuit or thick wetsuit is recommended for comfort.

Lake water temperatures in this region can be cold, particularly at depth, so a drysuit or a thick wetsuit is worth serious consideration.
