About Ellikon - Rüdlingen
Ellikon - Rüdlingen is a High Rhine shore dive with a ferry-step entry and a downriver current route that rewards disciplined timing, good buoyancy, and a small experienced team. The appeal is moving-water terrain, rocky river structure, and fish activity rather than reef scenery. Plan it as a strict river dive with seasonal shipping traffic, variable flow after rain, and an early exit in mind.
