Dive Information
Rasdhoo Dive Overview
Rasdhoo is one of the smartest choices for divers and snorkelers since it has possibly the best coral and marine life in the Maldives. In Rasdhoo Atoll there are 19 dive sites, including 5-star dive sites making up plenty of variety for a great diving/ snorkeling holiday.
Hammerhead season is typically January till April, and we got to see several hammerheads at the same time during this April 2018. During the past year we had seen hammerheads one by one or a few, but not in big groups. Rasdhoo and Ari Atoll is the place where the best chances of seeing hammerheads are. There is a Manta cleaning station just 20 minutes boat ride away from Rasdhoo. During the season (November - April) sighting of Manta Ray is guaranteed and this will be multiple Mantas at the same time. However, Manta sighting is a throughout-the-year privilege. We also get to see different types of rays and sharks every day throughout the year. Whale sharks are not seen often but there are times we see whale sharks during our dives, while they migrate.
