Rasfari Corner

This dive site, Rasfari Corner, is positioned directly at a channel mouth in the Maldives, making it a prominent drift dive location. Divers navigate along the main reef, exploring diverse features like rock formations, small overhangs, and vibrant coral blocks. The dive also offers the possibility of exploring two deeper reef sections that extend off the main corner, adding depth and variety to the underwater topography. As a drift dive, it requires good buoyancy control and an understanding of current dynamics. Rasfari Corner is renowned for its abundant pelagic marine life. Divers have a high chance of encountering impressive big grey reef sharks, large schools of barracudas, and elegant eagle rays. Schools of jack fish are also a common sight, contributing to the dynamic ecosystem. Furthermore, the site is frequently visited by dolphins, offering a magical experience for lucky divers. The reef itself supports various coral formations, providing shelter and food for numerous smaller reef fish, though the site's fame lies more in its larger inhabitants. The best time to visit Rasfari Corner is generally during periods of good visibility and active currents, which bring in the larger marine life. While no specific month is provided, the Maldives' dry season (December-May) typically offers calmer seas and better visibility. Divers should be prepared for strong currents and ensure they are proficient in drift diving techniques. Freedivers can also enjoy this site, particularly for its pelagic encounters, provided they are comfortable with strong currents and the varying depths, allowing for excellent wide-angle photography opportunities.
