About this dive site
This dive site, Bodu Hoholha, is a spectacular wall dive located in the northwest of the atoll in the Maldives. It offers a diverse underwater topography, starting with a vibrant coral garden at a depth of 5-8 meters before dramatically dropping off into the deep. Divers typically navigate along the wall, exploring its features and searching for marine life. There is no specific historical information provided for this natural dive site, but its robust marine ecosystem is a testament to the pristine conditions of the Maldivian atolls.
The wall itself is a vibrant tapestry of life, adorned with beautiful gorgonians and covered extensively in striking blue soft corals. Massive caves, large enough for divers to enter, punctuate the wall. The site is a haven for various marine animals, including chunky green turtles and a curious school of batfish, which are almost always present. Divers can also anticipate encounters with pelagic species such as tuna, sharks, and eagle rays cruising in the blue, alongside barracuda.
Bodu Hoholha is good to dive at all depths, making it accessible for various experience levels. The top reef is ideal for beginners and snorkelers, while the deeper wall and caves provide excitement for more experienced divers. For freedivers, the site offers a fantastic opportunity to explore the shallow coral garden and then follow the wall down to impressive depths. While specific seasonal highlights are not mentioned, the Maldives generally offers excellent diving conditions year-round, with peak seasons often dictated by manta and whale shark sightings in specific atolls.
