Due to its location and ease of access due to its proximity to the International airport and the port of departure for many of the Maldives liveaboards, this is perhaps the best known and most explored diving area of the Maldives, having long been recognised as providing a great variety of scuba diving, beautiful scenery.

Diving in North Male Atol is characterised by reefs, caves and drop offs. The atoll sees plenty of fish in action and is home to some of the best coral reefs in the Maldives where large pelagics, sharks and mantas are abundant.

 

Manta Point - A cleaning station in the south east of the atoll that's great, not just for observing manta rays at close quarters, but also reef residents such as octopus, moray eels and white-tip reef sharks.

Girifushi Thila - A pinnacle covered in a riot of colourful soft corals, swept with currents that sweep in masses of schooling fish.
