Wasserstelz is a freshwater river dive located in Wallhausen, Germany. The site features a consistent depth of 20 metres and is accessed via a shore entry. Divers should be prepared for a moderate current and visibility ranging between 5 and 10 metres. Due to the active boat traffic on the Rhine, the use of a surface marker buoy is essential, and divers should surface well clear of the main channel. Given the cold water temperatures, a drysuit or a thick wetsuit is recommended. This site is suited for intermediate divers who possess strong buoyancy control and situational awareness. Parking is available on site to facilitate logistics.
