Wallhausen's diving is defined by freshwater variety: river drift dives on the Rhine, a wooden shipwreck, a dramatic wall and gorge at Marienschlucht, a canyon structure, cave diving at Teufelstisch, and an artificial reef at Rheinau Felsen. The mix skews towards intermediate and advanced skill levels, with current management a recurring theme across the drift sites. Pike, Common Perch, European Eel, Burbot, and Catfish are all observation-backed residents across the site network.

Wallhausen covers a wide range of freshwater site types. River drift dives on the Rhine make up a significant portion of the portfolio, alongside a wooden shipwreck at Lädine, wall and gorge diving at Marienschlucht, a reef-wall-cave system at Teufelstisch, a canyon site, and an artificial reef at Rheinau Felsen. The variety is unusual for an inland freshwater region.
A number of sites in Wallhausen are rated intermediate, including the drift dives at Ellikon am Rhein and Rheinau-Ellikon am Rhein, the canyon site, and Rheinau Felsen. However, several key sites require advanced certification due to strong currents or significant depth, among them Zollbrücke Rheinau, Altenburg Aquarium, Marienschlucht, and Teufelstisch. Beginners would be better served building experience elsewhere before visiting.
Observation-backed species across the site network include Common Perch, Pike, Common Carp, European Eel, Burbot, Catfish, and Perch. Occasional sightings of Chub, Trout, Wels Catfish, and Brown Trout have also been recorded. American Crayfish and Barbel round out the confirmed species list.
There are numerous operators serving the area, including Dive-in-Resort, Tauchschule Hochrhein, Tauchschule AQUAplus Wehr, Pro Marine GmbH, Tauch-Club Singen e.V., Divecorner, and Dieli-Diver, among others. The breadth of operators reflects the density of dive sites across the region and means guided access and equipment support are readily available.
