Why dive here
With 98+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Divebase offers some of Rasdhoo Atoll's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Divebase in Rasdhoo Atoll serves up a decent afternoon dive, often with a gentle current. We've found the reef slopes here are home to some surprisingly robust staghorn coral, a nice change from some of the more bleached areas you sometimes see. Keep an eye out for the Granular Frog Shells tucked amongst the rubble, they're always a cool find. This spot is generally a relaxed drift, good for working on your buoyancy or getting some nice wide-angle shots.
