Aarah Wall
Raa Atoll wall drift with macro life and eagle rays.
Local operator required
A local Raa Atoll operator is the right way to time the drift and choose the wall shoulder.
Gentle bay start, then a wall drift with macro in the coral bushes and blue-water pelagics.
About Aarah Wall
Aarah Wall is a simple but beautiful Raa Atoll wall dive that starts gently in a bay and then runs along the reef shoulder with a west-to-east drift. It is a macro-friendly Maldives site with small holes in the wall, coral bushes, scorpionfish, and longnose hawkfish, while Napoleon wrasse and eagle rays appear in blue water beyond the reef. The appeal is a steady drift, clean reef structure, and a classic tropical-wall feel rather than a deep or extreme current ride.
