Gipsi is an easy Lake Thun shore dive on the left bank.
Gipsi is a straightforward Lake Thun shore dive on the left bank, with covered parking and a ladder entry that keeps logistics simple. The freshwater bottom is fish-rich rather than dramatic, so the draw is relaxed lake diving, buoyancy practice, and the chance to work along a gentle shore profile in either direction. Plan for cold-water gear and visibility that shifts with the season.
