Riihiniemi

Riihiniemi is a beginner-friendly shore dive at a cape in Western Finland, where a rocky promontory creates varied underwater terrain ideal for new divers. The site descends gently from the shore over granite slabs and sandy patches, with bladderwrack forests providing habitat for perch, sticklebacks, and invertebrates. The cape's position offers some current that brings fresh water and nutrients, improving visibility and marine life density compared to more enclosed bays. Easy water entry, clear navigation references from the shoreline, and depths suitable for open-water certifications make Riihiniemi a practical and enjoyable Western Finland training site.
