Jemima Giri

This dive site, Jemima Giri, is a classic Maldivian pinnacle named after a young female diver who first explored it. Starting from a shallow 0.8 meters, the reef gradually slopes down to its maximum depth of 14 meters, making it easily navigable for divers of all skill levels. The topography features a vibrant main reef integrated with hard corals, complemented by separate coral blocks scattered across the sandy bottom, providing diverse exploration opportunities. Jemima Giri is predominantly covered in extensive hard coral formations, creating a thriving and colorful ecosystem. It is particularly celebrated as an excellent location to encounter various types of stingrays gracefully gliding along the sandy bottom or resting near the coral blocks. Beyond the rays, divers can expect to observe a rich variety of reef fish and other smaller marine creatures typical of healthy Maldivian reefs. The best time to visit Jemima Giri generally aligns with the Maldives' dry season for optimal weather and underwater conditions. Its shallow profile and abundant marine life make it ideal for beginners, while experienced divers will appreciate the vibrant reef. This site is also highly recommended for freedivers and snorkelers due to its accessible shallow areas, crystal-clear waters, and the chance to witness stingrays and beautiful corals up close.
