Ahga Giri is a reef dive located in the Baa Atoll of the Maldives. The site features a reef structure that slopes from shallow depths down to 24 metres, making it suitable for beginner divers. Access is exclusively by boat, and the site is characterised by mild currents. Divers should be aware of the presence of nurse sharks and well-camouflaged stonefish on the reef surfaces. Due to these hazards, maintain a safe distance from marine life and avoid placing hands or knees on the reef. Visibility at this site can vary, so it is recommended to check current conditions with your dive operator before departure.
