Lake Annecy wall dive below Château de Duingt.
Lake Annecy wall dive below Château de Duingt.
Château de Duingt is a Lake Annecy wall dive at the foot of a private castle, where a gentle drop-off makes the site feel bigger than the shoreline suggests. The shore entry is straightforward from the parking and pontoon area, and the best dives reward slow movement along the wall and toward the darker water beyond it. Perch, pike, and crayfish are the usual cast, with submerged trees adding to the scenery.

Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Watch boat movement near the landing-stage area and keep your line tight along the wall. The drop-off gets deep quickly once you leave the entry area.
Access Restrictions
Use the lakeside access point before the castle and stay clear of boat movement near the landing stage.
Legal Notes
The château is private property, so dive access is from the shoreline rather than through the castle grounds.
