About Baumgärtli
Baumgärtli is a Lake Zug shore dive known for its near-shore wall, freshwater fish, and training-friendly logistics. The wall starts only a few metres below the surface and then drops steeply, so buoyancy control matters more than ocean-style conditions. Access is by stone stairs with paid parking and no WC, which makes the site straightforward but a bit more demanding than a casual beach entry.
