Alifu Alifu
އއ · AA · Hammerheads at dawn
North Ari is small islands and strong currents. Rasdhoo runs an early-morning hammerhead dive off Madivaru that is one of the few reliable places in the Maldives to see them, and it goes out before dawn.
Ukulhas has a national reputation for waste management and a tidy beach to show for it; Thoddoo grows watermelon and papaya, which is unusual in a country that imports most of its food.
