Rheinau - Ellikon

Rheinau - Ellikon is an advanced freshwater dive site on the Rhine River near the Swiss-German border. This drift dive takes divers through a section of the Rhine with moderate to strong currents, requiring solid river-diving experience. The riverbed features a mix of gravel, boulders, and submerged vegetation, with trout, barbel, and pike found along the route. The current can accelerate through narrower sections, adding excitement to the dive. Visibility depends on river conditions and rainfall upstream but can reach several meters during stable periods. The combination of current management, navigation challenges, and cold water makes this an advanced dive best attempted by experienced river divers with appropriate training.
