About this dive site
This dive site, Rasfari Beyru, is strategically positioned on the outside reef between the renowned Shark Point and Bodu Hithi Manta Point, suggesting it's a prime location for significant pelagic encounters. While specific navigation details aren't provided, divers can expect to follow the reef's contour, likely experiencing drift conditions due to its exposed location. The site promises the potential for a truly memorable dive experience.
The reef is a vibrant ecosystem, home to a wide array of marine life. Divers frequently encounter grey reef sharks, majestic eagle rays, swift tuna, formidable barracudas, and impressive schools of trevallies. Beyond the large pelagics, the reef itself supports a diverse population of smaller reef fish, invertebrates, and corals, making it rich in both macro and wide-angle photographic opportunities.
Rasfari Beyru offers excellent diving opportunities year-round, although specific pelagic encounters like mantas might peak during certain seasons depending on the atoll's current patterns. Due to its location on an outside reef, divers should be prepared for varying currents, making it an ideal site for drift diving. It's suitable for intermediate divers comfortable with current, offering an exciting chance to witness the Maldives' impressive marine biodiversity.
