About This Dive Spot
Maamigili Beyru is located at the southern end of the Ari Atoll, adjacent to Maamigili Island, which features an airport. The dive site begins with an outer reef that gradually descends to approximately 10 meters, transitioning into a steep wall that extends beyond 40 meters. The wall includes various smaller overhangs and crevices. Divers can navigate either the right or left side of the reef depending on the current conditions. This site is particularly renowned for sightings of whale sharks and is home to numerous schooling fish along the reef's edge. Caution is advised when surfacing due to frequent boat traffic, and the use of a surface marker buoy (SMB) is highly recommended.
