About this dive site

This dive site, Guraidhoo Outside, is characterized by a long, gently sloping reef, offering an easy and enjoyable experience for divers of all levels. Its accessible topography makes underwater navigation straightforward, primarily following the contours of the reef between 5 and 20 meters. No specific history or story is provided, but it represents a classic Maldivian reef dive experience. The marine biodiversity here is remarkable, featuring an abundance of honeycomb moray eels, green turtles, and vibrant red tooth triggerfish. Divers can also expect to encounter oriental sweetlips, large hump head parrotfish, schools of red snappers, and glittering fusiliers. The healthy reef ecosystem supports a rich array of fish life, making every dive visually engaging. The best time to visit Guraidhoo Outside is during August, when a small incoming south to east current increases the possibility of encountering magnificent whale sharks. This period offers a unique opportunity for both divers and freedivers to witness these gentle giants. With its easy conditions and excellent marine life, it's a highly rewarding site for underwater exploration.
