jet de la rose is a steep lake wall with a long approach and a deep drop-off.
The long reserve approach and solo-dive warnings make organized club access the practical route.
jet de la rose is a Roc de Chère lake dive above Lake Annecy with a shallow chara meadow, a steep cliff line, and a much deeper drop-off below. It suits divers who are comfortable with a long approach, limited visibility, and changing conditions along a wall that rewards a slow, careful descent rather than a fast swim. On the right day, the site can produce perch, pike, and other lake fish above the wall, with deeper burbot below.
