Dive-site story
Moofushi Shark Corner sits on the outer western perimeter of Ari Atoll where ocean channels draw pelagic predators along the current-swept reef drop-off. Grey reef sharks patrol back and forth in the incoming flow alongside eagle rays and schooling trevally, while the reef plateau features cleaning stations frequented by reef manta rays during favorable currents. Divers drift past deep overhangs before hooking in along the promontory edge to watch the open-water action unfold.
