Dragon’s Mouth

This dive site, Dragon’s Mouth, is an old time classic located on the outside reef of North Male Atoll in the Maldives. It functions as a well-protected inlet offering multiple caves as its primary feature. Divers typically explore these caves, particularly those situated between 10 and 15 meters, known for their stunning beauty. The main draw for marine life at Dragon's Mouth is the vibrant growth within its caves, which are densely covered in sponges and soft corals. While no specific large pelagic animals are mentioned for this site, a variety of reef fish are common, along with smaller macro life like crustaceans and nudibranchs attracted to the rich coral environment. The best time to dive Dragon's Mouth typically aligns with the dry season in the Maldives, from November to May, offering optimal visibility and calmer conditions. Its protected nature and accessible depths make it suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers. Divers should exercise good buoyancy control to protect the delicate coral formations within the caves and ensure safe navigation.
