Asdhoo Wreck

This dive site, Asdhoo Wreck, features a small steel vessel resting in the sand on a Giri, located south of Asdhoo Island in the Maldives. The wreck's upper structure rises to about 10 meters, while its deepest point reaches 21 meters. Behind the wreck, the reef transforms into a vibrant wall that stretches northward. The site is easily accessible via a 30-minute boat ride, offering a unique blend of wreck and reef diving. Asdhoo Wreck is a paradise for macro enthusiasts, hosting an array of fascinating small creatures. Divers can expect to discover colorful Nudibranchs, Wart snails, elusive Banded Pipefish, and camouflaged Frogfish hidden among the structure. The wreck itself is extensively covered with diverse sponges, providing shelter and sustenance for numerous colorful reef fish that inhabit the area. The best time to visit the Maldives for diving is generally during the dry season, from December to May, when conditions are calm and visibility is excellent. While the wreck itself offers sheltered spots, the adjacent reef wall might experience mild currents. Freedivers will find the depths suitable for exploring both the upper wreck sections and the reef. Divers should bring a keen eye for detail to fully appreciate the rich macro life.
