About this dive site

This dive site is located on the north side of Naainfaru island, featuring a diverse reef that slopes gently from 5 meters down to 30 meters. Divers can explore numerous overhangs along the reef, which provide interesting topography and shelter for various marine species. There is no specific history or story provided for this particular site, but it represents a typical Maldivian reef dive. The reef teems with marine life, including several groups of humpback snappers and vibrant yellow five-line snappers on the top reef. Overhangs are prime locations to spot soldierfish, as well as an abundance of macro life such as nudibranchs and shrimps. Turtles are frequently encountered, feeding on the rich corals and sponges that make up the reef ecosystem. The Maldives generally offers excellent diving conditions year-round, with high visibility. This site is particularly appealing for macro enthusiasts and those wishing to encounter turtles. Its varied depth profile makes it suitable for both snorkelers and freedivers exploring the shallower reef, and scuba divers of all levels, offering rewarding experiences from the top reef to the deeper slopes.
