Fesdhoo, in Rasdhoo Atoll, often offers a comfortable drift, letting us relax and take in the scenery. We’ve found the hard coral formations here particularly striking, with massive table corals and abundant staghorn varieties creating some impressive architecture. Keep an eye out for the small stuff too, like little post horn squid lurking in the crevices. It’s a solid dive for those who appreciate good reef structure and aren't chasing big pelagics on every outing.
