Overview of the dive sites:

South Male

Guraidhoo Corner: A deep channel with a staircase shape, known for its abundant eagle rays and shark schools.

Cocoa Corner and Kandhooma Thila: With a wealth of pelagic life, you can either start at Cocoa Corner and move to Kandhooma Thila, situated in the channel’s center, or dive directly into the middle of the pass and glide down its 200-meter length. Outgoing currents make this an excellent spot to observe gray sharks getting cleaned.

Vaavu

Miyaru Kandu: A great channel with a school of thirty resident gray reef sharks. You may also encounter eagle rays and Napoleon fish.

Golden Wall: This dive site, located in a channel, can be done as either an incoming or outgoing current dive. The highlight is a vertical wall covered in soft coral, giving it a golden appearance.

Alimatha House Reef: This site offers exceptional night diving, with the presence of black-tip sharks, stingrays, jacks inoblilis, and many nurse sharks.

Meemu Atoll

Muli Kandu: Enjoy a drift dive along the Muli Island pass and spot an abundance of fish, including snappers, schools of tuna or kingfish, and sometimes even eagle rays.

Vanhuravalhi Kandu: Cross through the wide pass and admire the overhangs covered in yellow soft coral. Look out for silvertip sharks, gray sharks, eagle rays, barracuda, and trevally in the blue.

Kurali Kandu: At the southwestern end of the atoll, this site is interesting because the prevailing current during the season is outgoing and many mantas are concentrated in the area. The shallow pass with a sandy bottom between 12-18 meters is a perfect place for a manta “cleaning station”.

Muli Corner: This site is full of fish, including schools of jacks of various species, gray and white-tip sharks, and barracudas. Enjoy a drift dive down the gently sloping outer reef towards the inside of the pass and admire the canyons, overhangs, and blocks covered in yellow soft corals between 23 and 30 meters. With outgoing current, you may encounter mantas.

Hakura Thila: This exceptional Thila is 75 meters long and just two meters below the surface, making it ideal for photography. The northern tip features caves and overhangs for interesting light effects, and a large overhang forms a cave full of invertebrates at depths of 10 to 15 meters.

South Ari

Rangali Madivaru: A must-see for manta rays during the northeast monsoon. This dive on the western edge of the Ari Atoll is also beautiful for its architectural features.

Dhigga Thila, also nicknamed “Bollywood Thila”, is a 200-meter-long Thila with soft coral caves in a range of colors. The dive ends on a plateau filled with Acropora tables that will leave an impression.

Maamigili Beyru: This dive site extends over 3 kilometers and offers the best chance of encountering the famous whale shark. The bottom composition consists of Acropora tables and Thilas at depth.

The Central and South Atolls of the Maldives are known for their rich and diverse marine life, making them a popular destination for scuba divers and snorkelers alike. These areas are home to a vast array of species, including colorful tropical fish, manta rays, eagle rays, whale sharks, sharks, and much more. The crystal-clear waters of the Central and South Atolls offer excellent visibility, making it easy to observe the amazing marine life in its natural habitat.

Sample itineraries and maps are for illustrative purposes only. The exact route and sites visited are subject to change based on local regulations, guest experience, weather, and logistics, and are at the Captain’s discretion.

Overview of the dive sites:

South Male

Guraidhoo Corner: A deep channel with a staircase shape, known for its abundant eagle rays and shark schools.

Cocoa Corner and Kandhooma Thila: With a wealth of pelagic life, you can either start at Cocoa Corner and move to Kandhooma Thila, situated in the channel’s center, or dive directly into the middle of the pass and glide down its 200-meter length. Outgoing currents make this an excellent spot to observe gray sharks getting cleaned.

Vaavu

Miyaru Kandu: A great channel with a school of thirty resident gray reef sharks. You may also encounter eagle rays and Napoleon fish.

Golden Wall: This dive site, located in a channel, can be done as either an incoming or outgoing current dive. The highlight is a vertical wall covered in soft coral, giving it a golden appearance.

Meemu Atoll

Muli Kandu: Enjoy a drift dive along the Muli Island pass and spot an abundance of fish, including snappers, schools of tuna or kingfish, and sometimes even eagle rays.

Vanhuravalhi Kandu: Cross through the wide pass and admire the overhangs covered in yellow soft coral. Look out for silvertip sharks, gray sharks, eagle rays, barracuda, and trevally in the blue.

Kurali Kandu: At the southwestern end of the atoll, this site is interesting because the prevailing current during the season is outgoing and many mantas are concentrated in the area. The shallow pass with a sandy bottom between 12-18 meters is a perfect place for a manta “cleaning station”.

Muli Corner: This site is full of fish, including schools of jacks of various species, gray and white-tip sharks, and barracudas. Enjoy a drift dive down the gently sloping outer reef towards the inside of the pass and admire the canyons, overhangs, and blocks covered in yellow soft corals between 23 and 30 meters. With outgoing current, you may encounter mantas.

Hakura Thila: This exceptional Thila is 75 meters long and just two meters below the surface, making it ideal for photography. The northern tip features caves and overhangs for interesting light effects, and a large overhang forms a cave full of invertebrates at depths of 10 to 15 meters.

South Ari

Rangali Madivaru: A must-see for manta rays during the northeast monsoon. This dive on the western edge of the Ari Atoll is also beautiful for its architectural features.

Dhigga Thila, also nicknamed “Bollywood Thila”, is a 200-meter-long Thila with soft coral caves in a range of colors. The dive ends on a plateau filled with Acropora tables that will leave an impression.
