This is a boat-only, current-sensitive site normally run by Rasdhoo-area dive operators or liveaboards that can time the drop and manage blue-water pickups.
Boat access from Rasdhoo, usually run at dawn with operator-led drop-ins along the channel edge; currents can build quickly, so timing and guide control matter.
About Hammerhead Point
Hammerhead Point is the exposed Madivaru channel edge off Rasdhoo, where a reef tongue meets deep blue water and draws grey reef sharks and other pelagics at first light. It is best treated as an advanced boat dive with current-sensitive entries and drift-style movement along the outer wall, approached as a dawn opportunity for scalloped hammerheads rather than a guaranteed shark stop.
