South Male' Atoll - Best diving spots in Maldives

diving in maldives

Channels are the major feature of diving in this area. On the eastern reef wall there are 6 channels through which a huge volume of water gushes, bringing with it all the nutrients to attract large quantities of marine life. Diving at South Male Atoll features fish in schools of sizeable numbers, big pelagic fish, plenty of soft corals and caves as well as one very good wreck.

 

Cocoa Thila - A large, deep water pinnacle on the outer edges of the atoll, Cocoa Thila's many ravines and overhangs provide divers with refuges in which to shelter from the strong currents that attract grey reef sharks, eagle rays and large schools of fusiliers.

Guraidhoo Kandu South - A large underwater region with a variety of channels, reef plateaus, walls and drop-offs. The diversity of topography is reflected in the many animal attractions here, from moray eels, lionfish, squirrelfish, soft corals and fans occupying the colourful chamber dwellings, to schooling trevallies and sharks patrolling the reef channels and walls.
