Why dive here
With 133+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Thoddoo South Corner offers some of North Ari Atoll's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Thoddoo South Corner is a gentle introduction to Maldivian diving, especially if you're new to the area. The reef here slopes down to a manageable 23 metres, making it a comfortable spot for beginners or those looking for a relaxed dive. We've often found ourselves drifting along, spotting plenty of parrotfish munching on the corals and the occasional turtle gliding by. While it might not have the dramatic drop-offs of some other Ari Atoll sites, it’s a consistently pleasant dive for getting your fins wet and shaking off any travel fatigue.
