Why dive here
With 148+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles and whale sharks - Filitheyo Housereef offers some of South Ari Atoll's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Filitheyo's housereef in South Ari Atoll is a solid choice for a leisurely afternoon dive, particularly if you're keen on finding your rhythm again after some time out of the water. It’s a comfortable 21m max, so no deep diving needed, which is a relief sometimes. We've seen a surprising amount of smaller stuff here, parrotfish grazing, little reef sharks cruising by, and once, a very curious octopus trying to blend in with a coral head. We’d suggest it for newer divers or those who prefer to take things slow and really observe the details rather than chase pelagics.
