Baarah Corner is a drift dive in the North and Central Atolls of the Maldives, featuring a reef corner that funnels currents. The site offers structural variety, combining a wall, a cave, and open reef sections at depths between 8 and 18 metres. Visibility typically ranges from 15 to 30 metres. Due to strong currents that can shift direction, this site is suited for intermediate divers. Access is by boat only. Divers should note the overhead environment within the cave and the presence of sharks. Night diving is also available at this location.

Time your dive to arrive at the corner as the current picks up rather than at full flow, since this is when pelagic species tend to push in closest to the wall. Confirm current direction with your boat crew before entry, as it can shift and affect your exit point.
