Rasfari Corner
A corner at the mouth of the Rasfari channel on the west rim of North Malé, with a drop-off that slopes to about 20–30 m and a plateau on top. From January to April manta rays come up to the plateau for cleaning, and the current brings grey reef sharks, eagle rays, barracuda and jacks; dolphins are reported here too.
