~223 m across the lagoon to the drop-off — a genuine swim, not a wade.

Heat history Measured
Peak heat stress 4.62 DHW since the imagery, 1 bleaching-alert year on record (2016).
From satellite this reef reads Very Good — roughly 35% living cover. We have not surveyed it in the water, so fish counts and big-encounter ratings stay pending. We don't estimate them.

Reef manta ray
Bodu Hithi Kandu on the western side is a northeast-monsoon feeding area; Lankan Beyru on the east is assessed as a reproductive area, with no published season.
Grey reef & whitetip reef sharks
Recorded in the southern channels through both monsoons.
Turtles — no atoll-level seasonal study exists; treat them as year-round residents rather than a season
Anything reef-specific — this is a large, heavily developed atoll and the assessments cover particular channels, not the whole of it
