Snapper point

This dive site, known as Snapper Point, is situated on the eastern side of Kassanfaru Corner in the Maldives. Accessible by a fifteen-minute boat trip, the site features a series of vibrant coral blocks ranging from 5 meters down to 20 meters, forming a gentle sloping reef. There is no specific history or story provided for this site, but its name likely originates from the abundance of snappers observed there. Divers can expect to encounter a diverse array of marine life. Notable fish species include Red Snappers, Yellow Goatfishes, Blue Striped Snappers, Napoleons, and Batfishes. The site is also frequented by larger pelagics such as Grey Reef Sharks, White Tip Reef Sharks, and Eagle Rays. The coral blocks themselves provide a rich habitat, though specific coral types are not detailed. While specific best times are not provided, the Maldives generally offers excellent diving conditions year-round, with calmer seas and better visibility during certain monsoons. This site, with its gentle slope and relatively shallow depth, is ideal for divers of all experience levels, including beginners. Freedivers and snorkelers will also find it very suitable due to the shallow coral blocks and abundant marine life visible closer to the surface.
