About this dive site

This dive site, Thulusdoo Beyru, is a well-regarded drift dive located in the Maldives, offering an enjoyable experience for divers of all skill levels. The reef gradually slopes from a shallower 5 meters down to around 30 meters, presenting a diverse underwater topography. This includes expansive sandy channels where larger marine life like sharks and stingrays often rest, alongside impressive rock formations that shelter groupers and schools of glass fish. As a drift dive, navigation is straightforward; divers simply allow the current to carry them along the vibrant reef. The marine ecosystem at Thulusdoo Beyru is remarkably rich and varied. Divers are frequently greeted by green sea turtles, various species of moray eels hiding within the coral, and large, shimmering schools of fusiliers. The site is particularly known for its pelagic encounters, with sightings of white-tip reef sharks, nurse sharks, majestic napoleon wrasse, and graceful eagle rays being common highlights. The abundance of diverse reef fish further contributes to the site's lively atmosphere. The Maldives generally provides excellent diving conditions throughout the year, with specific seasons potentially enhancing sightings of certain migratory species. Thulusdoo Beyru, with its consistent currents, offers reliable opportunities for encountering a wide array of marine life at any time. While scuba divers will appreciate the full depth range, snorkelers and freedivers can also enjoy the vibrant shallow sections of the reef, easily spotting turtles and schooling fish close to the surface. Divers should be comfortable with drift diving techniques to fully enjoy this site.
