Diving like in the 1940s

David Torres Guzmán

Once a year, a team of diving enthusiasts in La Neuveville offers the opportunity to dive in suits from the 1940s. Accompanied by a safety diver, the divers can dive up to ten meters deep into Lake Biel in the 71-kilogram antique diving suit, supplied with air via a hose that connects them to the surface.
