Advanced shore dive on Thunersee with a steep wall and tricky entry.
Stampach is an experienced-diver shore site on Thunersee near Gunten. The entry is straightforward, but the dive quickly meets a steep underwater wall and exposed lake conditions, so buoyancy control and a conservative buddy plan matter. Current can be noticeable, the site stays cold, and the terrain rewards confident teams who are comfortable with a more technical lake profile.
