Certified SSI divers can explore South Ari Atoll's best sites on guided fun dives, from the whale-shark protected area off Maamigili to manta cleaning stations and shark-patrolled channels. Local guides time the dives to the tides so you are in the water when the action peaks.
SSI fun dives are logged in your SSI digital logbook and count toward Specialty and Century Diver recognition; proof of certification is required.
Sites include the atoll's drift-prone kandus and pinnacle thilas at 12-30m where reef sharks, eagle rays and fusilier schools thrive, plus the whale-shark zone and manta cleaning stations. Year-round warm water and clear visibility make these classic Maldivian dives.
