Lac Neuchatel

Can any one tell me about the possibility of diving in Lac Neuchatel , what it is like and were from (if you can dive it) . We are in the Doubs area cave diving for a few weeks from the 17th of this month and thought this may be a nice diversion or any other lake in the area.

Hi Andrew,

there are a couple of dive shops in Neuchatel town so I guess there is diving in the lake. I have used Sub Sport, Rue des Usines 22, Serriere district www.subsport.ch. Quite a nice shop and they sell lime if you get stuck. Might be worth getting in touch. The other shop is Oceane, Fbg de l'Hopital 31.

If you want some cave diving then the Source de l'Orbe is a brilliant dive in Switzerland, not far from the Doubs. Batterich and Chaudanne are also not too far either. Source de l'Areuse is a horrible sidemount cave not unlike being at home

I have heard that there are some deep wrecks in Lac Leman that can be dived from the shore.

Cheers,

Stuart

PS, I'll stick a guide book in the post tomorrow

Thank you Stuart we are going to have a dive in Source de l'Orbe, As we will have a few Rebreather,s about KISS (Thomas) my and Colins home build mCCR Dräger based units and Steves YBOD we thought we would have a play day

We head of on Friday morning although Steve is going today to the Lot for a week first.
We went into the new quarry site just down from my house (10Km) Sunday a nice area to play in not much depth (18M) but good vis and Ok for testing.

A few pictures of it (yes they have been on another site
