Dive Spot Guide•
Rivaz Gare
Rivaz Gare is a shore dive on Lake Geneva's cliff-and-slope edge.
Station access is easy, but parking is limited and warm months get busy; plan a calm-day surface swim to the wall.
About Rivaz Gare
Rivaz Gare is a Lake Geneva shore dive below the station in Lavaux, with a cliff-and-slope profile that starts from a small beach. The main line runs along the wall and weed beds, so the dive feels best once you settle onto the buoy chain and follow the structure rather than staying in the shallows. Parking is limited and the site gets busy in warm months, so public transport or early starts are the cleanest plan. It rewards calm days, patient bottom time, and a slow look around the rock and herbier.

Local Intel For Rivaz Gare
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best for divers comfortable with a shore entry and a longer surface swim to the line. The wall and weed beds reward a slow route on calm water.
Freediving
Freediving works best on the shallow edge and buoy line. The main wall drops away quickly, so keep the route simple.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is only worthwhile in the shallow edge by the beach; the main wall is better left for divers than casual swimmers.
