About this dive site
This dive site, Cambra Beach, is a sheltered, shallow sandy area in the Maldives, primarily used for introductory dives and skill practice. Located off a beach, its gently sloping sandy bottom makes navigation straightforward and safe for new divers. There is no notable history or unique story associated with this site, as its primary purpose is functional for training rather than historical significance.
Due to its sandy bottom and lack of extensive coral, Cambra Beach does not boast a rich diversity of marine life or coral formations. While specific species are not highlighted, common small reef fish and sandy bottom dwellers might be observed, offering basic exposure to the underwater environment for first-time divers.
The best time to visit Cambra Beach is when winds blow from the west, ensuring calm and wave-free conditions, ideal for learning. For freedivers and divers, its maximum depth of 8 meters and average depth of 4 meters provide a safe and controlled environment to refine skills without the challenges of deeper or current-rich sites. It serves as an excellent entry point into the world of diving.
