Why dive here
With 98+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Halaveli Wreck offers some of Rasdhoo Atoll's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
The Halaveli Wreck in Rasdhoo Atoll always delivers a solid dive. This 33-metre freighter, sunk in 1990, now rests upright at 28 metres, about 50 metres off the main reef. We usually drop down the line, descending to the main deck around 20 metres. The wreck is nicely covered in soft corals and home to plenty of glassfish, often swirling so thick they almost obscure the superstructure. Look closely and you’ll find scorpionfish camouflaged on the deck plates, and we’ve often spotted white-tip reef sharks patrolling the sand around the bow. It’s an easy wreck to navigate, great for photographers, and generally suitable for divers with a bit of experience under their belts.
