Why dive here
With 148+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles and whale sharks - Kurali Corner offers some of South Ari Atoll's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Kurali Corner sits at a manageable 20 meters, making it a good intermediate dive. It's a typical Maldivian corner, so expect the current to dictate the drift. We've often seen grey reef sharks patrolling the drop-off and plenty of fusiliers swirling in the blue. Keep an eye out for schooling bannerfish near the reef top.
