About Berlingen, Bay Watch
Berlingen, Bay Watch is a beginner-friendly shore dive on Lake Constance with two stair entries beside the lakeside parking area. The site starts in a very shallow weed bed and then slopes gently across a natural freshwater bottom that stays interesting as you move offshore. It works well for relaxed scuba practice and calm-day snorkeling, but boat traffic, modest visibility and busy warm-day shore use are the main tradeoffs.
