Diving in the North Ari Atoll

The Ari Atoll is considered the number one scuba spot in the Maldives. The northern section offers two very notable diving regions. Maaya Thila is a spectacular and awe-inspiring location with a large cave to explore on the north side with a wide variety of sea creatures. You can find anything you are looking for here though with drop-offs, coral outcrops, and swim-throughs. Also part of the North Ari Atoll is Fish Head, aka, Shark Thilla. It has protected status and is the top place to see sharks in the entire Maldives.
