Dive-site story
Located off the tuna processing factory on Himmafushi island, this unusual site attracts an extraordinary concentration of marine scavengers drawn by discarded fish scraps. The sandy bottom and coral-rubble slope serve as a staging ground where dozens of massive rays and giant morays mill around divers at close range.
Dense gatherings of round ribbontail rays and pink whiprays cruising over the sandy seabed
Multiple giant morays and honeycomb morays sharing single coral blocks and rubble pockets
Schools of schooling bannerfish, red-toothed triggerfish, and jacks swarming in the water column

Seasonality
Northeast monsoon months typically bring the calmest sea conditions and clearest water, though ray aggregations occur year-round due to regular factory activity.
