Dive-site story
Situated along the fringes of Raa Atoll near the island of Kottefaru, this reef site features a sloping plateau that drops into deeper sandy flats. The topography is marked by pronounced overhangs and ledges covered in soft corals and sea fans, providing shelter for resting nurse sharks and stingrays. Divers drift alongside current-washed walls where pelagics cruise the open blue while macro life shelters in deep crevices.
Extensive reef overhangs decorated with dendronephthya soft corals and sea whips
Frequent sightings of grey reef sharks and whitetips along the reef shoulder
Sheltered pockets housing nudibranchs, banded cleaner shrimp, and moray eels
