Why dive here
With 133+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Hammerhead Point, Rasdhoo Atoll offers some of North Ari Atoll's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Hammerhead Point, sometimes called Madivaru Corner, is exactly what it says on the tin. We’ve done this dive many times on liveaboard transits between Ari and South Malé, often at sunrise, and it’s a real eye-opener. Dropping down onto the reef edge, we usually find a good vantage point, tuck in, and wait. The star attraction here is the scalloped hammerhead shark, often seen cruising in the blue, though grey reef sharks and eagle rays are common companions. Currents can be stiff, so it’s best for experienced divers comfortable with drift diving and managing their buoyancy while stationary.
