Konstanz-Wallhausen Hochhaus | Steilwand

This dive spot in Germany is a must-visit for experienced divers, but it's not suitable for beginners. The smooth wall extends to a depth of approximately 80 meters, making it an ideal challenge for advanced and expert divers. However, before diving here, it's crucial to have impeccable buoyancy skills.

If you're a fan of marine life, you're in luck. This site is home to an abundance of fish, including perch, pike, and stickleback. If you're fortunate, you might even catch a glimpse of a bullhead amidst the steep wall.

Please note that parking spaces are limited at this location due to the popularity among divers.

To access the water, you can make use of the slipway, but be cautious as it can be slippery.

For your safety and to avoid any conflicts with nearby harbor traffic, it's important to follow the diving instructions indicated by a sign for divers.

Starting at approximately 6 meters, you'll come across a forest of fir trees. A little deeper, around 9 meters, you can spot a small shark.
