Rasdhoo Ferry Terminal is Rasdhoo's harbour training site.
Rasdhoo Ferry Terminal is Rasdhoo's sheltered harbour training site, with stairs from the pier into shallow sandy water and enough room to practice buoyancy and basic skills. The site is intentionally simple: calm entry, soft bottom, and a gradual drop that makes it easy to keep control. It is useful for beginners and refresher dives, while reef sharks, stingrays, and occasional eagle rays may pass across the sand. Main caution is harbour traffic, so keep the surface marked and stay aware around the pier.
