Dhigurah is one of the Maldives’ most renowned dive destinations, best known for its year-round whale shark encounters. Located in South Ari Atoll, the area offers long reef systems and open water channels that attract manta rays, reef sharks, turtles and a wide variety of marine life.

This expedition focuses on relaxed, scenic diving with plenty of time to observe and photograph marine life. The dives are generally calm and spacious, allowing for longer bottom times and a more immersive experience. While whale sharks and mantas are a major highlight, every dive offers something different from vibrant coral gardens to large schools of fish and occasional pelagic encounters.

We dive with an experienced local team who knows the area intimately. The daily schedule remains flexible, adapting to conditions and wildlife sightings, ensuring the best possible experience while maintaining a strong focus on safety and responsible diving.

Between dives, there is time to unwind, review photos or enjoy the relaxed island atmosphere. Dhigurah’s laid-back pace and natural surroundings make it an ideal setting for a balanced and rewarding dive week.
