This dive site, Paradise Lagoon, is situated to the northeast of Thulusdhoo island in the Maldives. It serves as an exemplary location for dive training, characterized by its gentle, gradual sandy slope. Depths range from a comfortable 1 meter, extending down to about 10 meters on the slope, but the specified maximum for the site is 6 meters, providing an ideal environment for student divers to practice skills without disturbing marine life or delicate corals. There is no specific historical information provided for this site, suggesting its primary identity as a natural training ground. The lagoon is home to a variety of marine life suitable for observation, including colorful Parrot fish, distinct Trigger fish, and schools of Blue-Green Chromis. Other common residents are Moon Wrasses, Six-Bar Wrasses, and elegant Angel fishes. Divers might also spot Garden Eels swaying in the sand, alongside Banner fish, Box fish, and occasionally larger creatures like Blacktip reef Sharks and Sting Rays. The best time to visit Paradise Lagoon aligns with the Maldives' dry season, generally from November to April, offering optimal visibility and calm conditions. This site is particularly recommended for beginner divers and those undertaking certification courses due to its safe and controlled environment. Freedivers will also find the shallow, clear waters and accessible depths highly suitable for training and enjoying the diverse marine fauna.
