Boat-accessed Maldives ridge dive with twin ridges over sand, hard coral and regular ray and turtle sightings; good for tidy reef profiles.

About The Ridge

The Ridge is a Maldives boat dive between Mafaahi and Muraido that follows two long ridges over sand near the canal to Muraido port. Hard coral covers the ridges, while stingrays on the sand, regular turtles and the occasional devil ray make it a clean, easy-to-read profile for relaxed reef diving. The site is best when you can match the day's water movement and stay comfortable with a simple boat profile.
