The Richies

The Richies is a local dive site in the Canary Islands, described as a shallow coastal area suitable for entry-level dives. Access is straightforward from nearby towns, with divers typically starting from shore or a small, sheltered beach. The site’s underwater terrain generally features gentle sand patches and rocky structures close to shore. Given its proximity to Tías, San Bartolomé and Arrecife, it serves as a convenient option for beginners and small groups looking for a calm, short dive with easy logistics. Typical visibility varies with weather and currents, and marine life commonly includes small reef fish and invertebrates associated with nearshore habitats.
