Velidhu Hausriff in Rasdhoo Atoll serves up a relaxed dive, a good spot to settle into your Maldivian rhythm. We’ve found the reef edges are often bustling with smaller reef fish like the Two-spot Bristletooth and plenty of Six-line wrasse weaving through the corals. Keep an eye out for the more unusual residents too, like the Twinspot Hawkfish perched on coral heads or the subtle shimmer of a Gelatinous Cardinalfish in a crevice. It’s a comfortable dive, often with gentle currents, making it ideal for a leisurely afternoon exploration.
