Aarah Wall

This dive site, Aarah Wall, offers a simple yet beautiful diving experience that begins gently at 5 meters in a calm bay. Divers then progress to a captivating wall, which descends to 15-20 meters on the right shoulder, typically experiencing a current flowing from west to east. While no specific history is provided, the site is known for its engaging topography, featuring small holes along the wall and various coral formations. The marine life at Aarah Wall is diverse, catering to both macro enthusiasts and those seeking larger pelagic encounters. Divers can find a rich array of macro life, including scorpionfish and the vibrant longnose hawkfish nestled in coral bushes. In the blue water, sightings of Napoleon wrasse and majestic eagle rays are possible, while the reef roof teems with various fish species, stonefish, and nurse sharks hiding in small blocks. With a bit of luck, a large porcupine ray might also be spotted. The best time to visit Aarah Wall, like much of the Maldives, is generally during the dry season from November to April, offering optimal weather and calm seas, though specific seasonal highlights for this site are not detailed. Its varied marine life makes it ideal for both macro photography and wide-angle shots of pelagics and the reef structure. The shallower bay area also makes it suitable for snorkeling, and the moderate depths are well within freediving limits, offering a comprehensive experience for all.
