Diving (Seasonal- October to April)
The North Ari Atoll is one of the top 100 dive sites in the world, and with all its giris and thilas, channels, out reefs, drop-offs, overhangs and wrecks, it’s no wonder! You’ll come across a huge variety of fish here, and spotting a few sharks, rays and turtles is pretty much the norm here at the Reef. Don’t forget to swim by the legendary house reef of Ellaidhoo – a patch of reef with six passages and many highlights, one of them being a shipwreck!
Fishing (Sunset & Night)
Known to be one of the oldest professions in the Maldives, fishing is among the most rewarding activities made available to the active traveller. For the fishing enthusiasts with a keen eye, this experience would prove to be a worthy challenge to test the plentiful waters of the Indian Ocean for a remarkable catch.
