Fresh water: lake, river or quarry

About Bassin Plongeoir

A dive in fresh water: a lake, quarry or spring. No dive centre within 50 km on the map: book a liveaboard or a boat from further off. The town to stay in is Le Creusot.

  • Water Fresh water: a lake, river or quarry, not the sea. It is scored on its wind and rain only.
  • What it is No source states what kind of site it is.
  • How deep No source states how deep it goes.
  • Who it suits Suits Advanced divers and up: no source states its depth or level, so we never offer it to a new diver.
  • Dive centres No dive centre within 50 km on the map: book a liveaboard or a boat from further off.

Forecast

Fresh water: lake, river or quarry: scored by other rules.

Fresh water has no waves to forecast, so the 48 points out of 80 that a sea site gets for a calm sea are given in full. The day turns on the wind (24 points) and the rain (8); gusts of 25 kn or more still score it nothing.

No sea temperature is read for it: nothing forecasts a lake's water, and it is often much colder at depth than at the top. Ask a dive centre what suit to bring.

Not for Open Water divers. Suits Advanced divers and up: no source states its depth or level, so we never offer it to a new diver. See it for Advanced divers.

Rough cost

About £1,065–£2,000 each for 6 nights, 2 people sharing. A guide from typical prices, not a quote. Dives are not priced yet: we have no sourced price for a guided dive, so they are not in it.
