Steep Walensee wall dive by Betlis' first tunnel.
Steep Walensee wall dive by Betlis' first tunnel.
Weesen Tunnel 1 is a Walensee wall dive in Betlis with a steep shore entry just after the first tunnel. The route drops quickly into deep freshwater rock walls, so the dive is shaped by depth control and a careful return rather than by a long swim. Access is straightforward on paper but the path is slippery, the road has timed traffic windows, and parking is limited near the shoreline. Expect cold, clear lake water and a classic Swiss wall feel rather than a relaxed beach entry.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
0m - 45m
Depth Note
The entry is by the first tunnel in Betlis; public lake guides place the Weesen sector around 45 m and describe the wall as dropping much deeper.
Best Season
Summer and early autumn, with early-morning or late-day timing helping around the Betlis traffic windows.
Typical Conditions
Cold freshwater, good clarity on better days, and a steep wall that gets deep quickly.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
The entry is steep and slippery and the wall falls away fast. Keep buoyancy and depth control tight, and respect the Betlis traffic windows before parking or unloading.
Access Restrictions
Timed road access through Betlis, limited parking, and no parking at the dive site itself; unload carefully and use the designated lot.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
This is a classic lake wall dive: steep shore entry, deep rock faces, and very little room for sloppy buoyancy or depth control.
