Maldives is a diver’s dream, but Dharavandhoo takes it to another level. Nestled in the heart of Baa Atoll, this UNESCO Biosphere Reserve is home to one of the largest manta ray congregations on the planet. Here, the Indian Ocean comes alive with an awe-inspiring spectacle—graceful mantas swirling in vast numbers, feeding in the plankton-rich waters of Hanifaru Bay.
Below the surface, you’ll find vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life—turtles, reef sharks, schools of colorful fish, and the occasional whale shark gliding through the currents. This is the ultimate manta experience, a once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness nature’s grandest underwater gathering. We invite you to join us for an unforgettable dive adventure in one of the world’s most extraordinary marine ecosystems.
