Rasdhoo wall-and-thila dive with strong current.
Rasdhoo Beyru is a classic Maldives wall dive from Rasdhoo, with a steep island wall on one side, massive coral blocks on the other, and a sandy corridor between them. The site is known for sharks, eagle rays, manta rays, turtles, wrasse, and other reef life, and it is best dived with a guide who can handle the current. It is one of those atoll-edge dives where the structure and the wildlife are the main attraction.
