About Richmond Beach
Richmond Beach is the house reef of a local diving center, with coral starting almost right off the beach and a wall dropping away from the shallow reef. It is a simple shore dive for beginners and a strong snorkel option when the water is settled, with soft corals, gorgonians, and bright sponges across the reef. The site is more about easy access and clear structure than complex logistics, which makes it a practical choice for a relaxed reef day.
