Divers doing the drift along the neighbouring wall can continue around the corner into Ariyadhoo Kandu, where the wall becomes less steep. In South Ari Atoll there are threatened species, with breeding and feeding areas for the reef manta ray, a resting area for the whale shark and the presence of the silvertip shark. Also in the south of the atoll, the northeast monsoon, from January to March, usually brings clear water, while the southwest monsoon, from May to November, usually brings more rain and wind, rougher seas and reduced visibility.
