Fehi Velaa Dive - Baa Atoll

Fehi Velaa Dive, based out of Dhonfanu, puts you right in the middle of Baa Atoll, which is exactly where you want to be for mantas. From May to November, they’re perfectly positioned for trips into Hanifaru Bay. We like that they focus on smaller groups, which really changes the vibe of a dive, especially when you’re out looking for those big pelagics. If you’re serious about spending quality time with mantas and don't mind a local island stay, this is a solid pick.
