Best for beginner divers, 10-40m, shore entry.
Wiesli is a freshwater shore dive in Weggis-Vitznau, Switzerland, featuring a wall that descends from 10 to 40 metres. Located 20 metres from the shore, the site offers a calm environment with no current, making it suitable for practicing buoyancy and navigation. Divers should note that visibility typically ranges between 5 and 10 metres, and thermoclines are common throughout the water column. While the site is accessible to beginners, those with an Open Water certification are advised to limit their depth to 18 metres to avoid entanglement hazards and deeper sections of the wall. Parking is available directly at the entry point for convenient access.

Although an Open Water certification is the minimum requirement, newer divers should set a firm depth limit of 18 metres and stay well clear of the lower wall to avoid the entanglement hazards that increase with depth. The site is accessible year-round, so check visibility conditions locally before committing to the dive, as 5 metres of visibility on a wall requires solid buoyancy control to avoid stirring up sediment.
