Divers enter the lake via a convenient parking lot and a gentle slope, providing easy shore access.

The shallow areas close to the shore are teeming with life, where divers can encounter various fish species such as pike, catfish, and perch. Additionally, crabs are present, and numerous young fish can be observed cavorting in the immediate vicinity, making it interesting for macro life as well.

Due to the stated requirement for experienced divers, it's advisable to be prepared for potential challenges such as cold water, common in alpine lakes, and to ensure adequate buoyancy control along the steep wall.
