Best for intermediate divers, 8-30m, boat entry, moderate current.
Rasfari Corner is a drift dive located at the edge of North Male Atoll, where the reef curves into open water. The site features a wall that drops steeply to 30 metres, with an average depth of 20 metres. Divers access the site by boat, experiencing moderate currents that can strengthen quickly around the corner. Due to the potential for strong flow and the steep drop-off, this site is suited for intermediate divers with good buoyancy control. Visibility typically ranges from 10 to 30 metres. Divers should stay close to the wall for shelter and monitor their depth closely throughout the 50-minute dive.

Position yourself on the reef edge early in the dive before the current pushes you past the corner, as that turning point is where most of the shark and ray activity concentrates. Check locally for the most current-favourable departure times, as the tidal window can be narrow.
Access is by boat.
