Dive-site story
Situated off the island of Dharavandhoo in Baa Atoll, this submerged pinnacle features a series of undercut reef ledges, coral blocks, and sandy slopes. Oceanic water movements draw pelagic visitors along the deeper edges while macro life populates the cavernous overhangs on the reef flanks.
Extensive overhangs crowded with sea fans, black coral bushes, and sheltering squirrelfish
Frequent flybys of grey reef sharks and eagle rays off the upcurrent corner
Dense aggregations of blue-striped snappers and bannerfish congregating over the reef top
