This dive site, Serrieres, is situated on the shores of Lake Neuchâtel in Switzerland. Easily accessible via a charged parking lot near the Philipp Morris factory, divers can enjoy a convenient shore entry. The underwater topography features a gently sloping, silty bottom, scattered with large stones near the entry point. There is no notable historical context or specific story associated with this site, primarily serving as a local training and exploration spot.
The dive site is rich in aquatic vegetation, particularly extensive beds of seagrass that flourish during the summer months, providing a vibrant ecosystem. While not known for large marine life, divers can observe various typical freshwater fish species, crustaceans, and insect larvae that inhabit the lake's silty and vegetated environment.
The warmer seasons offer the most comfortable diving conditions at Serrieres, with peak seagrass growth enhancing the visual experience. Good buoyancy control is recommended to avoid disturbing the silty bottom and preserve visibility. Serrieres is suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers, offering an accessible and calm environment for skill development and observing the unique freshwater biodiversity.
