Rasdhoo North Channel
★★★★☆
(638)
North Channel on the north/north-east side of Rasdhoo Atoll. The channel is relatively shallow and with average depth of 20 m is suitable for competent open water divers. The current can get quite strong here, so choosing the right time to visit is important.
Mantas can be seen at several shallow cleaning stations in the channel. Outside of Manta Season this is a great spot for honeycomb moray eels, stingrays, lionfish, leaf fish, whitetips.
