Rix Garden: gentle wall-and-ridge dive off Rakiraki
Rix Garden is a Rakiraki wall-and-ridge reef dive with open-blue edges; it suits most divers, is cleaner on the incoming tide, and can also appeal to snorkellers in settled conditions.
About Rix Garden
Rix Garden is a wall-and-ridge reef dive off Rakiraki with a shallow crest that opens into the main reef. It suits most divers, rewards an incoming tide, and can work as a calm-water snorkel stop. The profile is balanced rather than extreme, with healthy coral structure, open-blue scanning, and regular chances of sharks or rays rather than one fixed feature.
