surrounding Nova’s private island. The South Ari Atoll is known for its
spectacular diving sites and within a 30-minute boat ride there are 40 plus

colourful fish. The closeby SAMPA area (South Ari Marine Protected Area) is
renowned for its whale sharks, the gentle giants of the ocean, and is the only
place in the world where it is possible to dive and snorkel with them all year
round, providing a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Additional water-based activities
