Uthuru Maafaru North Corner

This dive site, Uthuru Maafaru North Corner, is situated north of You&Me Resort in the Maldives, accessible by a 20-minute boat ride. The dive begins on a top reef at 10 meters, gently sloping down to 30 meters. This corner is particularly known for its cleaning stations, natural phenomena where larger marine animals come to have parasites removed by smaller fish. There is no specific history or story provided for this site beyond its geographical location and key features. Divers can expect to encounter an impressive array of marine life. During the season from December to April, Manta Rays are a major highlight at the cleaning stations. Year-round sightings include grey reef sharks, eagle rays, sting rays, and large schools of snappers and sweetlips that frequent the reef, along with diverse reef fish and corals. The optimal time to visit Uthuru Maafaru North Corner is between December and April, coinciding with the Manta Ray season. Its gentle slope and maximum depth of 19 meters make it suitable for divers of various experience levels, although moderate currents can be present. Freedivers will also find this site appealing, particularly around the 10-meter top reef and cleaning stations, offering excellent opportunities for breath-hold encounters with large pelagic species.
