The dive site known as Ant Harrows/Duck Harrows offers divers two canyons and a striking steep wall in between them. As you explore the shallow waters above the steep face, you'll encounter a plain adorned with lush seaweed. Access to the site is convenient with the presence of two ramps.

Within the shallow water, a diverse array of aquatic life awaits, including pike, eglis, alets, and bullheads. Deeper within the canyons and along the steep face, you'll discover a bustling community of burbots.

Recognizing the dive site is made easy by the distinctive resting place located at the bend between Gunten and Merligen. Along the road, you'll find ample parking spaces, as well as benches and tables. The name "Ant Harrow" holds significance as it reflects the abundance of ants inhabiting the area during the summer months. Both ramps, leading towards Interlaken and Thun respectively, provide comfortable access to the site.

Heading towards Thun and descending towards the middle of the lake will lead you into a breathtaking canyon, known as the large canyon, at around 15 meters deep. At a depth of 36 meters lies a small ledge, offering a stunning view back through the small canyon when visibility is excellent. Towards the left side, facing Interlaken, a steep face awaits exploration. Following this path will eventually lead you to another captivating canyon, the small canyon, after approximately 20 to 25 minutes (Note: please adhere to no-decompression time). Resurfacing through this canyon will bring you directly to the left ramp, facing Interlaken. Of course, if preferred, you have the option to ascend before reaching the second canyon. The wall's edge lies between 20 and 25 meters deep, supporting a gently sloping plain above it. During the summer, this area becomes adorned with seaweed, creating an ideal habitat for pike, eglis, and bullheads. It's the perfect location to conclude your dive with an engaging safety stop.

With a visibility of 6 meters and a maximum depth of 30 meters, the Ant Harrows/Duck Harrows dive site is recommended for advanced and expert divers. Situated in Switzerland, the site is located along Seestrasse, Endorf, Gunten, Sigriswil, Horrenbach-Buchen, Thun administrative district, Oberland administrative region, Bern, 3655, Switzerland.
