Halaveli Wreck

A man-made shipwreck beside Halaveli Island in North Ari, where divers often come face to face with several large stingrays.

The Halaveli Wreck is a cargo ship about 38 metres long, deliberately sunk in 1991 near the Halaveli resort island in North Ari. The hull rests on sand at about 28 metres, with its deck at about 18 metres, making it suitable for an introduction to wreck diving. Coral and fish now cover the hull. Its main highlight is several large thick-tailed stingrays, which often move around the wreck and approach divers. Dive shops on North Ari resort islands and resident islands such as Ukulhas and Mathiveri run trips here.
