Lake Bourget shore dive with a shallow shelf and wall.
Chindrieux is a Lake Bourget shore dive from a pebble beach, with a shallow shelf that works for discovery dives and a fast transition into a dramatic wall and canyon system farther out. The nearshore weed beds are the real payoff for relaxed profiles, while the deeper structure belongs to experienced divers with solid buoyancy.
