About this dive site

This dive site is located between Rasdhoo and Kuramathi, offering an exciting experience for advanced divers with channel diving expertise. The area features a depth gradient ranging from 20 to 25 meters at the pinnacles' tops, descending to over 30 meters in deeper blue waters. Situated on a sandy bottom, the numerous pinnacles are richly colonized by diverse coral species. Divers can expect encounters with marine life such as stingrays and white-tip reef sharks while exploring the sandy areas. Crossing the channel presents opportunities for observing grey reef sharks, eagle rays, manta rays, silver-tip reef sharks, and occasionally even hammerhead sharks.
