Ameisenecke
Shore wall-and-canyon dive on Lake Thun
Use the ramps, keep buoyancy tight on the wall, and plan around the steep drop, limited parking, and variable lake visibility.
About Ameisenecke
Ameisenecke is a Lake Thun shore wall dive with two canyons, a steep face, and a seaweed-covered shallow plain above the drop. It is an easy shore entry with ramps, but the site quickly turns into a deep freshwater wall dive that rewards good trim, careful buoyancy, and a calm plan for the horseshoe route. Bring a torch if you want to inspect the wall closely and expect to share the ramps with other teams on busier days.

Local Intel For Ameisenecke
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Follow the canyons and wall, keeping trim tight on the drop-offs; the horseshoe route is a classic way to work the site.
Freediving
The shallow plain can work for short breath-hold practice, but the site is mainly a scuba wall dive.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is only realistic in the shallow seaweed plain above the wall; the deeper canyons are a scuba-only zone.
