Check visibility conditions locally before committing to the deeper sections, as it can drop significantly and low visibility at 30 to 40 metres raises decompression and navigation risks considerably. A drysuit or well-insulated wetsuit is strongly advised given the cold freshwater temperatures typical of Central Switzerland.
