Hammerheads at dawn

About This Island

A small, charming island in Alif Alif Atoll famous for its early-morning hammerhead shark dives and a beautiful sandbank just a short boat ride away.

Rasdhoo is a diver's island. The Rasdhoo Atoll is home to one of the most reliable hammerhead shark dive sites in the Indian Ocean — a deep channel where these magnificent creatures gather in the early morning hours before dispersing into the blue. The dive requires an early start and a degree of experience, but the reward is an encounter that stays with you for life. Above the water, Rasdhoo is a charming, compact island with a friendly local community, excellent guesthouses, and a beautiful sandbank that emerges at low tide just minutes from shore.
