About this dive site
This dive site is located at the harbour of Rasdhoo, offering easy shore access via stairs from the pier, making it ideal for confined water training. There is no specific historical background provided for the dive site, primarily serving as a convenient entry point for divers. Navigation is straightforward, staying near the pier and exploring the sandy bottom.
Above the sandy bottom, divers may sometimes encounter impressive marine life such as reef sharks, stingrays, and even eagle rays passing by. While specific fish species or coral types aren't detailed, the general Maldivian reef fish can be expected, albeit perhaps less abundant than pristine outer reefs due to its harbour location.
The best time to visit the Maldives is generally from November to April for calm seas and good visibility, though specific animal sightings can vary year-round. Divers should always use a surface marker buoy due to potential boat traffic in the harbour. This site is particularly suitable for beginners and those undergoing training, offering a safe and accessible environment.
