About Rie Banks

One of the most beautiful, yet less dived sites on the coast of Port Elizabeth. The reason for this site not being dived often is the fact that the reef system here is situated 22 kilometers from shore. This reef starts in shallow waters and gradually slopes down to several depth variations before ending in a depth of 60 meters. Great landscapes and abundant marine and coral life to be seen. Ideal for all level divers.
