ALIGHAA BEYRU EDGE is a boat-dived Maldives reef edge at the southwest corner of Lhaviyani Atoll, reached from Le Meridien Maldives in about 35 minutes. It is a current-dependent ocean-facing site where the main payoff is the edge itself and the larger reef structure, with sharks, rays and schooling fish as the main draw. Expect a proper live-reef dive rather than a sheltered lagoon.
