Boat logistics and shifting current make local guidance the normal route.
Rasfari Beyru is a boat-access outer-reef dive in North Male Atoll with a shallow reef edge, deeper blocks, and open-water pelagic traffic. It is best for divers comfortable reading moving water, because current and surge can shape the route and the easiest line through the reef. The payoff is a wide, sharky site with eagle rays, tuna, barracuda, and trevally schools.
