Prisca Corner is a current-driven boat corner with sharks and hard coral.
Prisca Corner is a boat dive on the northeast end of Maabadhifaru, reached by a short run from the local dive boat. The route starts inside with overhangs and a swim-through before the slope steepens toward the corner, so it suits divers who are comfortable with current and a little overhead structure. Expect hard-coral cover, shark-and-ray action, and a planning emphasis on current timing rather than sheltered-water conditions.

Scuba Diving
Start inside among overhangs and a swim-through, then follow the steepening slope to the corner; this is a current-aware scuba dive.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site; the current and overhead sections are a better fit for scuba.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first site; the action sits on the corner and channel edge below the surface.
