Alifu Dhaalu
South Ari Atoll
South Ari is the whale-shark highway and a playground of broken rock, panettone pinnacles, and long reef walls. 55 sites here span easy house reefs and advanced channel mouths.
Pair a dawn patrol for plankton-feeding giants with afternoon thilas when the light softens. Liveaboards and local dhonis both work — choose based on how far south you want to roam.
