Rasdhoo Channel
Suitable only for advanced divers, the channel between Kuramathi Resort Island and Rasdhoo offers world-class encounters between 22 and 30 meters deep. This dive works best with a medium current pushing mainly across and slightly in toward the atoll. Divers should follow the edge of the channel.
Rasdhoo Channel features schools of grey reef sharks, white tips, stingrays, napoleons, turtles, eagle rays, groupers, snappers, and sometimes surprise guests (incl. guitarfish & mantas).
