Dhigurah Arches: boat reef with coral arches, gardens, and walls.
Dhigurah Arches is a boat-access reef site in Ari Atoll known for its coral arch formations. Hard corals and colorful sponges cover the arches, and the dive weaves through coral gardens, small walls, cracks, and sandy patches. The varied terrain makes it a scenic exploration rather than a single-point attraction. Logged dives describe moderate current, light surge, and very quiet crowding.
Built from 5 logged dives by 1 diver, with a small research baseline still applied.
