Why dive here
With 133+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Veligand North offers some of North Ari Atoll's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Veligand North is a mellow drift dive along a sloping reef in North Ari Atoll. You'll often find white tip reef sharks cruising the deeper sections, and the shallower areas hold a good mix of schooling fusiliers and snapper. It’s a solid spot for relaxed diving, particularly good if you're looking for an easy current with some larger pelagics. We'd suggest it for divers who appreciate a calm pace over high-octane action.
