Coral Ridge is a coral-rich reef dive from Rahaa Resort.
Boat access and resort dive support are the normal way to reach and run this reef site.
Coral-rich reef ridge dive on the Laamu Atoll side, reached by a short boat ride from Rahaa Resort and commonly used as a refresher or check-out dive after time away from diving. The site is built for easy reef time rather than technical effort: strong coral growth, sea fans, and a mixed reef community of turtles, rays, and reef fish make it a relaxed training-style dive with good visual payoff. Calmer weather gives it the best feel, but it stays a useful reef dive year-round.
