Why dive here
The Ridge is a dive where divers can encounter blue sharks, sea turtles and spinner dolphins. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest March, April, May.
The Ridge in Baa Atoll is a solid choice for intermediate divers. We often find eagle rays cruising the top of the reef, sometimes in small groups. Look out for white-tip reef sharks resting on the sandy bottom, particularly in the mornings. It’s a comfortable dive, usually with manageable currents, making it a good second dive of the day.
