Pointe du Grain is a shore dive with slopes, rocks, and weed beds.
Pointe du Grain is a Lake Neuchatel shore dive with gentle slopes, rock patches, and weed beds that keep the layout easy to read. The shallow side works for relaxed touring and buoyancy practice, while the outer edge gives the site more depth and variety. Cold freshwater and changing lake weather make thermal protection and conservative timing important.

Legal Notes
Follow shoreline and beach rules, respect seasonal closures, and avoid disturbing lake vegetation or wildlife.

Scuba Diving
Freshwater dives are described across 5–35 m with aquatic plants, rocks, and gentle slopes.
Freediving
The shallow shoreline can work for controlled breath-hold sessions, but the colder water and deeper edge suit trained freedivers with a conservative plan.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling works best close to shore in calm weather. Cold water and surface chop can shorten the comfortable window, so keep sessions short and simple.
