Trip Video - Rasdhoo February 2025

Hi All,

Sharing my trip video to Rasdhoo in February 2025.

There are very limited dive sites there but both Madivaru Corner and Rasdhoo Channel near the Island are super world class dive sites.

I dived multiple times there and every dives have different encounter.
Big school of Batfish, Jacks, Barrucuda, Plenty of eagle rays and Grey Reef Sharks. We even met 2 dolphins underwater at the Wall.

We are also very lucky to see a baby Whaleshark on the surface while on the way back after diving.

I stayed at Jerry's Lodge and dived with Jerry's Dive Club during my 5 days there.

Hi diving is great with their guides. However, We have some issue initially with the Italian or Spanish manager who demanded full payment when we just arrived on the island and even before we check into the lodge. Come on, we traveled the whole day to get to Rasdhoo which included waiting half a day for the speedboat from Hulhumale to Rasdhoo. Typically we pay on the last day for land based diving.

However, Jerry the Owner is super friendly with great hospitality though.

I highly recommend going fishing on 1 of the day in evening. The fisherman will help you gut the fish and he will throw the fish parts into the water where you can see dozens of nurse sharks waiting below.
