About this dive site
This dive site, Hudhuveli Beyru, is situated on the eastern side of Hudhuveli island, famously known as Gili Lankafushi, within the Maldives. It features a beautiful reef that starts at a shallow depth of approximately 5 meters and gradually slopes down to about 30 meters, forming a distinctive curve along its profile. While the specific history or story behind the dive site is not detailed, its natural topography suggests a typical Maldivian reef dive, likely navigated by following the reef contour.
The site is teeming with marine life, particularly known for its large schools of various fish species. Divers can expect to encounter Yellow Line Snappers, Yellow/Blue Fusiliers, and Oriental Sweet Lips in abundance. Glass Cardinal Fishes also contribute to the vibrant ecosystem. Furthermore, the presence of occasional sharks adds an exciting element for divers interested in larger pelagic species.
The best time to visit the Maldives is generally during the dry season (December to April) when visibility is at its peak and currents are often more predictable, though this site can be enjoyed year-round. This dive site is excellent for both scuba divers and freedivers, with its shallow reef top ideal for breath-hold diving and deeper sections offering exploration for scuba enthusiasts. Snorkelers will also appreciate the vibrant shallow areas. Divers should be prepared for potential variable currents that are common in Maldivian atolls.
