Five Rocks in South Ari Atoll is a solid option for divers looking for a reliable drift. The site gets its name from five distinct rocky outcrops that form an interesting topography. You’ll often find schools of snappers and fusiliers hanging out here, and we’ve seen grey reef sharks patrolling the deeper sections. It’s a good spot for intermediate divers comfortable with currents.
