The Ridge

This dive site, known as The Ridge, is situated between the islands of Mafaahi and Muraido, close to the canal leading to Muraido's port. It features two distinct long ridges with depths ranging from 15 to 22 meters, with an average depth of approximately 9 meters. The ridges are extensively covered in vibrant hard coral, creating a diverse and interesting topography for exploration. There is no specific history or story provided for this site. The marine environment at The Ridge is rich with life. Divers can expect to encounter various stingrays resting on the sandy bottom. Turtles are frequent and graceful visitors to the coral formations. With some luck, sightings of majestic devil rays add to the excitement. The hard coral itself hosts a myriad of smaller reef fish and invertebrates. The best time to visit the Maldives is generally throughout the year, with specific seasons offering variations in marine life patterns. This site's relatively shallow average depth makes it ideal for both divers and freedivers looking to spend extended time exploring the coral ridges. It's recommended to keep an eye on the sandy areas for stingrays and look out into the blue for larger pelagic species.
