Why dive here
With 148+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles and whale sharks - Kahambu Giri offers some of South Ari Atoll's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Kahambu Giri is a smaller pinnacle in South Ari Atoll, less frequently dived than some of its neighbours. The coral here is generally healthy, with good coverage of hard and soft corals. You’ll find a steady stream of reef fish, sometimes schools of fusiliers, and we often spot whitetip reef sharks resting on the sandy bottom or patrolling the edges. It’s a good choice for a relaxed second dive or when currents are too strong elsewhere.
