Malé: Manta Encounters and Thrilling Corner Dives

Rasfari Corner is another Malé Atoll favorite. This large plateau teems with marine life, including sharks and turtles. Divers sometimes encounter manta rays in this area as well, making for an even more extraordinary dive.
Ari Atoll: Spectacular Pinnacles and Whale Sharks
Maaya Thila, nestled in the Ari Atoll, is known for its exceptional night diving. During the day, sharks, stingrays, and even schools of fish are frequent visitors. This pinnacle offers incredible biodiversity, with colorful overhangs, coral bushes, and hidden caves waiting to be explored.
Another exciting dive in the Ari Atoll is Moofushi Kandu, another manta ray cleaning station. With the right environmental conditions, divers have the opportunity to observe these gentle giants getting pampered by smaller reef fish.
The southern end of the Ari Atoll presents the perfect opportunity to spot majestic whale sharks. Maamigili Beyru is renowned for encounters with these enormous fish, the largest on Earth, and offers divers an exceptional chance to swim alongside these awe-inspiring creatures.

Vaavu Atoll is home to Miyaru Kandu, a channel with strong incoming currents that attracts a wide variety of marine life. Sharks, eagle rays, tuna, and napoleons grace this dive site. If the underwater visibility is optimal, these encounters become even more spectacular.
