About Rihivelhi Caves
Rihivelhi Caves is a South Malé reef dive built around overhangs, caves, and sheltered reef sections. The route stays interesting along the reef face and shaded pockets, with a torch helping you pick out detail under the ledges. It is a guided boat dive rather than an easy shore entry, and the site rewards scuba divers who want structure, fish movement, and regular shark-and-ray action.
