Alifushi is a small island that is located 5 km north of Raa Atoll. The reef on the south side is characterized by soft and hard corals as well as some overhangs at various depths. At 10 to 15 m, after a gentle slope, the reef gives way to a vertical wall. Exposed to the deep waters of the ocean, Alifushi offers a varied reef and pelagic fauna.
The dive starts between 20 and 30 meters by exploring the overhangs while diving along the wall. You will finish the dive by exploring the reef between 5 and 15m.
The waters can be unpredictable depending on the season since the site does not have any natural protection.
This particular site is accessible throughout the year; it is of intermediate difficulty, and accessible to divers with some diving experience at 20-30 m.
