Maalhaveli Outside

This dive site, Maalhaveli Outside, is located on the eastern side of Maalhaveli Island, forming a long Faru on the outer atoll. Situated between Boahura Express and Medhufushi Outside, the reef top lies at 8-10 meters and slopes steeply at a 45° angle down to 30 meters, offering an exciting and dynamic underwater topography. There is no specific historical information provided for this site. Divers here have a good chance to encounter diverse marine life, including majestic turtles, various shark species, and fast-moving tuna. The site is also teeming with all kinds of shoaling fish, alongside colorful parrotfish, inquisitive snappers, and numerous surgeonfish, showcasing a vibrant reef ecosystem. The Maldives generally offers excellent diving year-round, with the best time to visit often dependent on specific currents and animal migrations. Due to its outer atoll location and proximity to 'Express' sites, divers should be prepared for variable currents, which often attract the larger pelagic species. This site is also suitable for freedivers who can explore the shallower reef top and observe the rich marine life.
