About this dive site

This dive site, known as Hide and Seek, is situated on the west side of Mulidhoo island in the Maldives. It is characterized by numerous intricate overhangs and captivating caves, inviting exploration. While navigating these features, divers are encouraged to look out into the blue, as it frequently offers rewarding encounters with pelagic life. The site doesn't have a known specific history or story, but its name aptly describes the intriguing features that conceal marine life. The site is a haven for diverse marine animals. Within the protective caves and overhangs, divers can often spot different kinds of stingrays and reef sharks resting. Out in the blue, eagle rays are frequent visitors, adding to the thrill of pelagic encounters. While not explicitly mentioned, the healthy Maldivian reef environment would likely host a variety of colorful reef fish, hard and soft corals, and other invertebrates typical of the region. The best time to visit this dive site, like most in the Maldives, is generally during the dry season (December to May) when visibility is at its peak and sea conditions are calmer, though encounters with pelagics can occur year-round. Divers should possess good buoyancy control, especially when exploring the caves and overhangs, and be aware of potential currents when looking into the blue. Freedivers will find the overhangs and the possibility of encountering large marine life appealing, provided they respect the marine inhabitants.
