Vaagali Outside

This dive site, Vaagali Outside, is an easy wall dive located on the outside reef of Vaagali Island. Divers navigate along a vibrant drop-off that features a large cavity within the reef, adorned with beautiful coral blocks and soft corals. The wall descends to a sandy bottom at depths of 20-25 meters, providing a clear route for exploration. There's no specific historical context mentioned, making it a natural reef dive celebrated for its accessible beauty and rich topography. The site is teeming with a diverse array of marine life. Frequently spotted are sharks, majestic napoleons, elegant eagle rays, and schooling trevallies. Turtles are common visitors, and the reef hosts numerous species of sweetlips and moray eels. For macro enthusiasts, the presence of halimeda ghost pipe fish, nudibranchs, and lionfish offers excellent photographic opportunities among the numerous reef fish. While diving in the Maldives is excellent year-round, the dry season from December to May generally offers the best conditions. This site is perfect for both wide-angle and macro photography, so divers should remember to bring their torch for exploring the cavity and their camera to capture the vibrant life. Its easy nature makes it highly suitable for beginners and all levels, offering a rewarding experience for both scuba divers and freedivers who can enjoy the shallower reef top and wall sections.
