HAMMERHEADS !! – diving with Hammerhead sharks is our speciality! Rasdhoo Atoll Divers Dive schools on Kuramathi are situated a mere five minutes boat ride from world famous Hammerhead Shark Point, which is one of the few remaining places left in the world where you can still see these magnificent animals.

Nevertheless, you still have to get up early if you want to dive with the hammerheads. The best time is around sunrise which means about 6.00 am ! It ’s a spectacular dive – it's exciting to jump into the 29C water in the soft light of dawn and let yourself descend 30 meters into the blue. The sparkling blue plankton lights our path and the surgeonfish accompany us as we hover in the deep waiting for the hammerheads (up to 4 meters long) to appear from the depths.

Cottage Dive School and Village Dive School both offer the dive twice a week so the opportunity is there to make the dive up to four times a week. If you see a large hammerhead up close and personal, the image will probably remain with you long after your holiday is over.
