This dive site, Lhosfushi Corner, is a dynamic reef corner located in the Lhaviyani Atoll of the Maldives, offering diverse diving conditions. It is known for its vibrant marine ecosystem and the unique challenge and thrill of variable currents. Divers typically navigate along the reef, adapting to the prevailing current which can flow into or out of the atoll, or be entirely absent, making each dive a distinct experience.
The site boasts an impressive array of marine life, including both thriving hard and soft corals that form a rich underwater landscape. Common reef fishes are abundant, and encounters with larger species such as turtles, white tip sharks, and Napoleon wrasse are frequent. During the season, majestic manta rays are also a highlight, complemented by plenty of macro life for keen observers.
While Lhosfushi Corner can be dived year-round, the best time to visit for manta ray encounters is typically during the season from May to November, though specific conditions can vary. For divers, be prepared for variable currents, which can range from none to strong, making it suitable for all levels with appropriate guidance. Freedivers will appreciate the vibrant reef and moderate maximum depth, especially during milder current periods.
