Why dive here
With 148+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles and whale sharks - Sun Island Housereef offers some of South Ari Atoll's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
The Sun Island Housereef, sitting right off the resort, is a convenient spot for a relaxed dive. We've seen plenty of reef fish here, parrotfish grazing, and sometimes a turtle cruises by. It's a gentle introduction to Maldivian reefs, making it a good choice for newer divers or those looking for an easy afternoon swim. Visibility generally holds up well.
