Fiordland Milford And Doubtful Sound New Zealand

Bridal Veil is a gently sloping dive that begins from a beach and follows a wall that runs out toward a point. The shallow area is generally sheltered and commonly used as a training site. Underwater terrain is a sandy and rocky reef with kelp and occasional small black coral trees, set within a scenic fiord environment.

This site begins in a sheltered cove with a gently sloping stony-sandy bottom that transitions to a rocky sandy reef, then becomes a steep wall dive on both sides.
