About Boudry
Boudry is a sheltered shore training site on Lake Neuchatel, well suited to entry-level courses and repeat practice dives. The site is built around a beach entry, submerged objects at different levels, and a purpose-built practice platform that gives the dive real structure. It is the kind of spot that works when you want straightforward logistics, easy repetition, and a calm place to stay underwater longer than at the surface.
