Simply The Best

This dive site, aptly named "Simply The Best," is a small Giri (pinnacle) situated to the west of Mulee Island in the Maldives. Divers typically explore the east side of the Giri, where beautifully overgrown ridges extend from 10 to 25 meters deep. The reef top is in pristine condition, showcasing an abundance of large table corals and diverse hard corals. There is no specific history or story provided for this site, but its robust marine life suggests a well-protected and healthy ecosystem. The rich underwater environment of Simply The Best is a haven for both macro and pelagic life. The healthy coral formations, including numerous large table corals and other hard corals, provide a vibrant habitat. Due to its strategic geographical location, the site is renowned for sightings of large pelagic species. Divers can expect to encounter white tip and grey reef sharks, nurse sharks, groupers, and tuna. Spectacular schools of mackerel and fusiliers are also a common and breathtaking sight. The Maldives offers excellent diving year-round, and Simply The Best is generally no exception. While specific seasonal highlights for certain animals are not provided, the consistent presence of big fish and healthy corals makes it a rewarding dive any time. Divers should be prepared for potential moderate currents, which contribute to the presence of the larger pelagic species. For freedivers, the relatively shallow average depth of 13 meters and the impressive big fish encounters make it a suitable location, though awareness of currents is key. Wide-angle photography opportunities are abundant, especially with the schools of fish and sharks.
