South Ari Atoll is one of the best spearfishing destinations in the Indian Ocean. The visibility is exceptional - 25 to 40 metres on most days. The reef structure is world class, with steep drop-offs, channels, and coral formations that hold serious pelagic and reef species.
We run guided spearfishing charters from Maamigili with direct pickup from your resort. A safety guide is always in the water with you - whether you're a beginner on your first dive or an experienced spearo hunting dogtooth on the deep drop-offs.
Depths range from 5 metres on the shallow reef flats to 25 metres on the outer edges. Our guide matches the spots to your experience level and what you want to target.

WHAT WE PROVIDE
WHAT YOU BRING
Safety first: A qualified safety guide is always in the water with you throughout the entire session. Whether you're a beginner or experienced, you're never diving alone.
BEST MONTHS
Peak: December - April (NE monsoon). Calmer seas, best visibility, ideal conditions for spearfishing the outer reefs and drop-offs. Good: May - November. More current brings more baitfish and predators to the reef edges. GT and dogtooth are aggressive feeders in this season.

We take beginners through to advanced spearfishers. A safety guide is always in the water with you. If you can freedive to 5-10 metres comfortably, you can spearfish with us. We'll match the spots and depth to your ability.
Depths range from 5 metres on the shallow reef flats to 25 metres on the outer drop-offs. Our guide will choose spots based on your comfort level and what species we're targeting.
Yes. We clean and prepare the fish on the boat. You can take it back to your resort or enjoy fresh sashimi and ceviche prepared on board by the crew.
We monitor conditions daily. Visibility and current are critical for spearfishing. If conditions aren't right, we'll contact you the evening before and reschedule. Full refund if we can't find a suitable date.
