The Alif Dhaal Atoll (also known as South Ari Atoll) is one of 26 atolls that make up the nation of the Maldives. Only a few of the islands in this atoll are inhabited, and one of those is the long and slender Dhigurah. Snorkeling and scuba diving are big draws for tourists due to the rich marine life just offshore, including an abundance of whale sharks. The vessel you see here, called a dhoni, makes for a great dive boat. And it’s not a bad way of getting around the Maldives in general—this watery nation boasts nearly 1,200 islands scattered across some 35,000 square miles of the Indian Ocean.
