ALIGHAA BEYRU EDGE

This dive site is strategically located at the south western corner of Lhaviyani Atoll, directly at a channel corner. Its main feature is an impressive oceanic edge, making it a dramatic and exciting dive. The site is best navigated as a drift dive, following the south western current which brings in nutrient-rich waters and pelagic life. There is no specific historical information or story provided about the dive site itself, but its location suggests a vibrant ecosystem influenced by open ocean conditions. The marine life at Alighaa Beyru Edge is diverse, with a notable presence of larger pelagic species. Divers can expect to encounter graceful turtles along the main reef. A major highlight for many are the grey reef sharks, which frequent the area, along with various species of sleeping rays that can be found. The oceanic edge itself likely supports a wide array of reef fish and corals typical of the Maldivian atolls. To experience the best of Alighaa Beyru Edge, it is recommended to dive when there is a nice south western current, which enhances the drift experience and often brings in the larger pelagic animals. This dive site is particularly rewarding for divers who appreciate dramatic underwater topography and significant encounters with big marine life. Due to potentially strong currents and the presence of larger animals, it is generally more suitable for intermediate to advanced divers.
