About Rihiveli Bay
Rihiveli Bay is a shallow resort bay with a gentle slope and an easy, low-friction profile. It is a calm-water site best suited to beginner scuba, relaxed free-diving, and simple shallow-water practice rather than a big-action reef dive. The appeal is the easy access and forgiving depth rather than a hard current or deep drop-off.
