Why dive here
With 98+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - STINGRAYS offers some of Rasdhoo Atoll's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Alright, Stingrays. This motor vessel was intentionally sunk back in '91, a purpose-built attraction that's served its time well. Sitting at 30 metres, it's pretty much a skeletal wreck these days, with plenty of openings to fin through. We've seen eagle rays cruise past the stern, and the usual suspects of fusiliers and snapper have made the interior home. It's a solid second dive for experienced divers looking for a bit of wreck penetration and some pelagic action away from the main channel drifts. Keep an eye on your bottom time.
