Site hazards: A terraced wall drops from the shallow entry shelf to a steep face around 27 m and continues past 40 m, so depth and buoyancy control matter near the drop-off. A muddy slope on the Interlaken-side return-loop section reduces footing and stirs up silt, cutting visibility. The entry staircase sits directly on a public lakeside road, so road-traffic awareness is needed while gearing up and entering.

Site details

Ruedi-Walter Platz is a dive site in Switzerland. It is accessible from shore.

A terraced wall drops from the shallow entry shelf to a steep face around 27 m and continues past 40 m, so depth and buoyancy control matter near the drop-off. A muddy slope on the Interlaken-side return-loop section reduces footing and stirs up silt, cutting visibility. The entry staircase sits directly on a public lakeside road, so road-traffic awareness is needed while gearing up and entering.
