One of the best places to see large pelagics. From hammerheads to mantas the ‘atoll is your oyster’
Located on the west side of the Maldives, Ari Atoll hosts approximately 105 small and unique islands each offering some of the most amazing and fascinating diving in the country.
Ari Atoll is one of the largest atolls in the Maldives, located in the western area of the archipelago this part of the Maldives can be easily accessed and is roughly a 30-minute seaplane journey for the capital Male. Separated into North and South atolls it offers a very distinctive experience for divers, once under the surface you will realise why Ari Atoll is the second most popular destination in the Maldives for divers. The usual barrier reefs that make up many of the other atoll’s topography are replaced by beautiful thilas and kandus, (submerged pinnacles and channels) perfect for drift diving and which attract many large pelagic including whale sharks, manta rays and hammerhead sharks. The most renowned dive sites in this region are Maaya Thila and Fish Head, Maaya Thila can be suitable for beginners but has variable current. The highpoint starts at 6 metres and gently slopes to 12 metres, here you can delight in an array of nudibranchs, frog fish and zebra morays. From there it drop-offs to 30 metres, where divers can expect to see schooling fish, graceful formations of eagle ray and even the guitar shark! Fish Head is suited to intermediate and advanced divers as it is quite a deep dive, with unpredictable current. This magical coral hill reaches gracefully from the sandy bottom with depths of 10 to 35 metres, there are caves scattered around the pinnacle and it is covered in black coral bushes, whip coral and gorgonians. Resident reef sharks will be hanging around at about 10 metres, an abundance of colourful fish and turtles will be gliding around this amazing dive spot.
