Why dive here
With 148+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles and whale sharks - Maamigili Corner offers some of South Ari Atoll's richest drift diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Maamigili Corner is a drift dive, often with a good push from the current. You'll typically drop in and ride along the reef, keeping an eye out for larger pelagics moving through the blue. It’s a solid spot for experienced divers comfortable with current, looking for sharks or rays cruising by. We've often found it's a site best enjoyed earlier in the morning before things get too busy.
Safety Notes
Drift dive - carry a surface marker buoy (SMB) and stay with your group. Brief the current direction before entry.
