South Ari Atoll, Maldives
The site lies on the outer rim of the atoll, exposed to the open sea rather than the sheltered lagoon. Schools of fusiliers glide through the blue, while moray eels, leaf fish and plenty of macro life live on the reef. In South Ari Atoll, juvenile whale sharks use the shallow, sheltered waters along the outer reef crest to thermoregulate and recover after deep dives, and the aggregation is made up mostly of juvenile males. April to November is usually indicated as the best period to dive here.
