The quai in Vevey is a really nice dive site. Located in the city center at the marketplace, there is plenty of parking available, entry is via a stony beach.
The dive site apparently also offers deeper options and a wreck somewhere, but we decided to go for the shallow route under the quai.
Despite looking like a cavern, it's not an overhead environment and you can always surface and get to fresh air immediately.
 
a sorry, the server gave a mistake at the beginning, but now it works... thanks!
Ah, phew, I gotta admit that I was left quite puzzled for a moment there!
 
Used to work in Vevey and loved Lake Geneva.

Often wondered what it's like diving there; what's the temperature and visibility generally like? Themoclines? Is there much to look at?

The temperature at the surface (or the first ~10m) is usually between 5-25°. The thermocline moves around 10-15m. Below that you are looking at 5-8° water temperature.

There are lots of fish to see (pikes, perches, Catfish, etc.), a few wrecks and flying along the steep, rocky walls is impressive, too.
 
The beauty of the environment around there is stunning. Looking over the lake towards Evian -- famed for the water -- is so pretty with the sharp snow-capped mountains. Those wonderful paddle-wheel ferries running along the lake are lovely too.

A beautiful part of our lovely planet. Thanks for the memories!
