Why dive here
With 133+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Rasdhoo Diving: Hammerheads and Other Pelagics offers some of North Ari Atoll's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Rasdhoo, in North Ari Atoll, draws divers for its reliable pelagic encounters. We’re talking about dawn dives out in the blue, hoping for the elusive hammerhead schools that surface from the deep. It’s not a guarantee, but when they show, it’s a proper spectacle. Beyond the hammers, the currents here bring in manta rays and grey reef sharks, particularly on the drift dives along the atoll's outer walls. Keep an eye out for turtles too; they’re often cruising the drop-offs. This spot is definitely one for advanced divers comfortable with strong currents and deeper profiles, especially if you’re chasing those big shark moments.
