Housereef Diving The house reef of Reethi Beach lies on a channel and stretches out along the west side of the island as a 30 m drop off wall. On the east side, there is a vast Thundi (sand lagoon) with interesting coral blocks and some nice artificial surprises. Due to its diversity and wealth of fish life, the house reef of Reethi Beach is surely one of the most beautiful ones of the Maldives. The regular passing of spinner dolphins, eagle rays, schools of barracudas, batfish and the thousands of fusiliers are just some of the highlights. You can also see turtles, octopus, lobsters, moray eels and of course our lemon shark family......yet another specialty is the evening visits by sting rays, guitar sharks and cobias which come right up to the shore at their daily feeding time. Four buoys marking the entries and exits were set on the channel site, especially for snorkelers and divers, to be used during both high and low tide for their own safety. The house reef can be explored from early morning until late in the evening. Boat Dives A lot of dive spots can be reached within 10-45 minutes by boat (dhoni). The furthest dive spot is about 1 hour away from Reethi Beach. At the moment we dive at approx. 60 different spots, which we divide in 4 basic categories: Thilas, Outer Reefs, Island Reefs and Atoll Reefs. Depending on the season we can see different fish life. During the west monsoon (June November) we have our Manta season in which we can almost give a 100 % guarantee for encounters with this elegant giant ray. In August/September the chances for whale shark visits are very high and all in all there is more or less a big fish soup under water. In the east monsoon (December May) the water is clearer and we can see sharks and the beautiful colors of the soft corals.
