About La Cochère
La Cochère is a deep Lake Geneva wreck dive near Anières, where a historic coachman-type barge lies flat on a silty bottom and has to be approached with serious depth discipline. The site is about structure, preservation, and controlled planning rather than easy scenic swimming: the wreck is fragile, the profile is deep, and the route works best for divers who are comfortable with a cold-water lake setup and exact buoyancy.
