Picasso

This dive site, Picasso, is an easy Giri located west of Medhufushi in the Maldives, characterized by its lack of currents, making it ideal for divers of all experience levels. It is renowned for its unbelievably beautiful coral garden and large overhangs. There is no specific historical information or story provided for the dive site itself, focusing instead on its natural beauty and accessibility. The marine life at Picasso is vibrant and diverse, with an emphasis on its extensive coral garden. Divers will encounter a spectacular display of soft, leather, and fan corals, complemented by a wide selection of sponges. The large overhangs found in the east and south of the site are home to sweet lips and a varied population of rock cod, while shoals of fusiliers are a year-round presence, adding dynamic movement to the reef. Picasso is an excellent dive site to visit any time of the year due to its consistently calm conditions and abundant marine life. Its lack of strong currents and manageable depths (average 10m, max 20m) make it particularly suitable for beginner divers and freedivers seeking a relaxed and rewarding experience. Divers should focus on exploring the vibrant coral formations and the rich ecosystem thriving within the overhangs for the best viewing opportunities.
