Dhiffushi Beru is a drift dive located in the South Ari Atoll, characterised by a dramatic drop-off and pinnacle topography. Divers typically descend to depths between 20 and 35 metres, navigating mild to occasionally strong currents along the reef wall. Visibility ranges from 15 to 30 metres. Due to the potential for strengthening currents and the open water exposure, this site is suited for intermediate divers. Boat access is required, and guided tours are recommended to manage drift timing and positioning. Species recorded around this area include emperor angelfish, spotted eagle rays, hawksbill sea turtles, whale sharks, and whitetip reef sharks.

Book a guided tour rather than diving independently here, as the current can pick up without much warning and a local guide will position the boat and time your entry to make the most of the drift. Aim for morning dives when visibility tends to be at its best.
