Why dive here
With 133+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Rasdhoo Try Dive Area offers some of North Ari Atoll's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Forget the name, this isn’t just for try dives. Rasdhoo Try Dive Area is a fantastic spot for shaking off the dust or getting comfortable with your buoyancy. It’s a gentle, sloping coral reef that rarely pushes past 13 meters, meaning plenty of bottom time to simply float and watch. We've often seen small reef sharks here, tucked under ledges, and the usual suspects like parrotfish and triggerfish are always busy. It’s a calm, easy dive, perfect for newer divers or those who just want a relaxed splash in the Maldives.
