The variety of diving in this area is absolutely fantastic. The dive center's location means they can offer diving in both northern and southern Ari. The dive sites are close to the island, but there is the option to go a little further for more variety. It is probably the whale sharks and manta rays that attract you!
At the outer reef of the atoll on the southwest side, you can see whale sharks almost every day.
This is generally considered the best dive site in the Maldives for whale sharks and liveaboard boats almost always pass this spot on their tours. Here you can both snorkel and dive with whale sharks, sometimes several at a time. Boutique Beach is still the only dive center here that offers nitrox and usually does three dives per day. There are 4 instructors here who speak several different languages.
South Ari also offers many grooming stations for manta rays. During the southwest monsoon (June to November) you may be lucky enough to see them circling in large groups with their mouths open to catch as much plankton as possible. The atoll also has incredibly beautiful inner reefs and colorful walls with a very rich fish life. Schools of snappers, butterflyfish, tuna, barracuda, fussiliers are common and the service from dive guides and staff is very good for diving and snorkeling.
