Why dive here
With 148+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles and whale sharks - Seven Stingrays offers some of South Ari Atoll's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Seven Stingrays isn’t always about a fixed number, but you’ll typically find plenty of these graceful creatures gliding over the sandy bottom. We like to drift along at about 20-25 meters, letting the current carry us past sleeping white-tip reef sharks and occasional eagle rays. The reef itself is fairly gentle, a good spot for intermediate divers to practice their buoyancy while keeping an eye out for the resident whiprays and jenkins stingrays that give the place its name. It’s a reliable site for a pleasant drift, especially in the mornings before boat traffic picks up.
