Best for advanced divers, 5-26m, boat entry, strong current.
Alighaa Beyru Edge is a demanding outer-atoll wall and drift dive in the Baa Atoll. The site features a vertical structure ranging from 5 to 26 metres in depth, with visibility reaching up to 40 metres. Due to the location, strong currents are common and can shift rapidly during tidal changes. Access is strictly by boat, and divers must maintain their position relative to the wall to avoid being swept into open water. Night diving is permitted, offering a different perspective as the reef environment changes after dark. This site is suitable for advanced divers who are comfortable managing significant currents and following precise divemaster signals.

Current direction and strength at the edge can shift quickly depending on tidal phase, so brief with your divemaster immediately before descent rather than relying on conditions from the previous dive. Night diving is available here, and the wall takes on a different character after dark with reef fish settling into the coral and nocturnal species becoming more active.
