Why dive here
With 133+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Rasdhoo Ferry Terminal offers some of North Ari Atoll's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Don't let the name fool you, this isn't just a muddy boat launch. The Rasdhoo Ferry Terminal site offers a surprisingly chill dive, perfect for getting comfortable in the Maldivian water without battling strong currents. Dropping to a gentle 17 metres, we've spotted resident schooling snapper, curious batfish, and even the occasional reef shark cruising by the sandy bottom. It's an easy-going dive, well-suited for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon exploring the shallows. We often use it for a check-out dive, but it holds its own as a pleasant spot to just float and watch the local fish go about their day.
