Why dive here
With 98+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Fish Head offers some of Rasdhoo Atoll's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Fish Head in Rasdhoo Atoll gets its name from the sheer volume of fish you can find schooling here. It’s a pinnacle dive, so you’ll often drop down onto a busy reef top and then drift along its walls. Expect to see plenty of grey reef sharks patrolling the deeper sections, along with schools of fusiliers, bannerfish, and snappers. Look closely at the coral bommies for camouflaged scorpionfish and moray eels. We think it’s a good spot for divers comfortable with some current, offering a consistent chance at pelagic encounters.
