Riffa
Riffa is part of Bahrain’s Southern Governorate and serves mainly as a mainland city near Manama. It has limited direct diving access; the sea and diving activity are centered around coastal Bahrain and the Gulf. For divers, the UAE and Bahrain’s Persiian Gulf coast offer nearby options, while inland attractions focus on culture and local amenities. If you’re set on diving, plan trips to coastal centers and boat dives from nearby hubs rather than in-city diving.
