Ellikon - Rüdlingen is a beginner-friendly freshwater drift dive on the Rhine River near the Swiss-German border. This popular river dive takes advantage of the Rhine's gentle current to carry divers along a scenic stretch of riverbed. The bottom features a mix of gravel, smooth stones, and aquatic plants that sway in the current. Freshwater species commonly seen include trout, barbel, chub, and perch, with pike occasionally spotted near submerged vegetation. The moderate current and shallow depth make it accessible for less experienced divers, though river-diving awareness is recommended. The pastoral riverside landscape visible from the surface adds to the charm of this classic Rhine drift dive.
