    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Rannalhi Jetty is a pretty easygoing reef dive, perfect for getting back into the swing of things or for newer divers. The reef tops out around 18 metres, sloping gently down, and it's usually pretty sheltered here. You'll often spot schooling bannerfish hanging out under the jetty itself, and we've seen plenty of parrotfish munching away on the corals, along with the usual cast of butterflyfish and angelfish flitting about. It's a relaxed spot for a chilled out dive, giving you a taste of the Maldivian reef without any strong currents to worry about.
