Easy Lake Neuchatel shore dive with silty bottom
Serrieres is a Lake Neuchatel shore dive with a gently sloping silty bottom, shoreline stones, and summer seagrass in the shallows. It is easy to reach from shore and works well for freshwater exploration, but the fine sediment can quickly cloud the water if buoyancy or finning is careless. The site rewards controlled entry and careful movement more than speed.
