Hammerhead Point (Rasdhoo Madivaru)

This is the Maldives' classic dawn gamble, run from Rasdhoo, the small satellite atoll on Ari's northeastern shoulder. Divers roll in before sunrise and hang at 25 to 30 meters in open blue, watching down-slope for the silhouettes of scalloped hammerheads rising from deep water where they spend the day. Some mornings deliver a slow parade; plenty deliver nothing but gray reef sharks and eagle rays on the wall as consolation, and honest guides say the odds have thinned compared with decades past. The dive itself (dark water, no reference, buddy discipline) is a skill test worth the alarm clock either way.

您此行的高光时刻: Dawn blue-water hangs for scalloped hammerheads; wall traffic on the way home

地形地貌: Steep outer wall falling from a channel corner into deep open water

水流: Pre-dawn blue-water descent off the corner of Rasdhoo Atoll's channel; flow can push divers off the drop quickly.

危险因素: Deep blue-water descents in darkness, no visual reference, and current off the corner.

保育: Sightings are wild and unbaited; nothing is done to attract the sharks.

高氧（Nitrox）: 在此值得使用：这些潜点的深度范围内，富氧空气（nitrox）能有效延长免减压停留时间，前提是您已接受相关培训。
