About this dive site

This dive site, Baumgärtli, is located on Lake Zug in Switzerland and is accessible directly from the shore via a stone staircase. It is suitable for both beginners and advanced divers due to its varied depths. Parking is available directly at the entrance and exit, though it is subject to a charge. Divers should exercise caution as the steps leading into the water can be slippery due to algae.

The site is teeming with freshwater marine life that can be observed practically all year round. Divers can frequently encounter eglis (perch), burbot, sunfish, and pike. Additionally, crayfish are a common sight, making it an interesting spot for macro observation.

Baumgärtli offers enjoyable diving conditions throughout most of the year. It's an excellent location for fish identification and observing typical lake fauna. Freedivers and snorkelers will also find the site appealing due to its accessibility and suitable average depths, but should be mindful of the often cool water temperatures characteristic of Swiss lakes.
