Why dive here
With 133+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Rasdhoo Reef offers some of North Ari Atoll's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Rasdhoo Reef, often just called Rasdhoo Madivaru, is a great spot if you're staying in the area and looking for an easy, shallow dive. We usually see plenty of reef sharks cruising along the outer edge, and the resident turtles are quite comfortable with divers. It’s a good choice for newer divers or for a relaxed afternoon drift after a deeper morning dive, with decent coral patches and usually mild currents.
