About Balmholz
Balmholz is a boat-only Lake Thun wall dive in the Bernese Oberland, best known for a steep face lined with big boulders and submerged branches. The site suits controlled freshwater boat drops more than casual shore diving, and divers should plan for tight buddy spacing, careful navigation, and a low-visibility profile rather than open-water sightseeing.
