The drift and channel timing make local guide support important.
Dhihfushimaadhoo Beyru is an outside-reef drift dive in Lhaviyani Atoll that rewards divers who like moving water, hard coral, and open reef structure. The run tracks the reef edge toward or away from a channel, so the dive is guided by current timing rather than a fixed line. Expect clear water, coral blocks, and fish life, with eagle rays and nurse sharks among the likely highlights. It is best approached as a guided scuba outing rather than a casual shore-style dive.
