This dive site, Himmafushi Corner, is a renowned drift dive located in the Maldives, best navigated during an incoming current. It features a sloping reef from 5 to 30 meters, leading to a small drop-off reaching 45-50 meters. While no specific history is provided, its name highlights its geographical position, making it a critical point for marine life due to current aggregation.
Divers can expect a rich display of pelagic life, including frequent encounters with grey reef sharks, large schools of jacks and tunas, impressive Napoleon wrasse, and various species of rays. The surrounding reef system also supports a diverse array of smaller reef fish and vibrant coral formations typical of Maldivian atolls.
The optimal time to dive Himmafushi Corner is specifically during the incoming current, which significantly enhances the pelagic action. This site is exclusively recommended for advanced divers due to the challenging combination of depth and strong currents. Due to these demanding conditions, it is not suitable for snorkelers or freedivers.
