MALÉ ATOLL

CORAL GARDEN
Excellent hard & soft corals plus white-tip reef sharks, eagle rays, devil rays, snapper, fusiliers, Hawksbill turtles, Napoleon Wrasses, lobsters, Honeycomb morays and much, much more. The wide range of coral and fish life explains why this dive site is so popular.

BANANA REEF
30-75 ft
This banana-shaped reef is carpeted in soft corals and features a plethora of spectacular rocks, caves, deep gutters and precipitous overhangs. You'll see white-tip reef sharks, barracudas, trevally, black snapper, huge schools of bannerfish, giant morays, several species of grouper, spotted and scribbled pufferfish, squirrelfish, soldierfish and hundreds of species of wrasse.

HANI KANDU THILA
The south end of this steep wall is blanketed in beautiful soft corals. Look for gigantic schools of basslets, blue-striped snappers & butterflyfish, groupers, yellow margin morays, stingrays and white-tip reef sharks.

HIMMAFUSHI KANDU
Multi-colored soft corals abound on this excellent drift dive. Among all the color you may also spot eagle rays, painted spiny lobsters, anemonies, clownfish and morays. Parts of the reef drop steeply to around 75 ft.

LANKAN MANTA POINT
Between May and December, large coral blocks at about 30 ft become cleaning stations. Mantas circle the blocks allowing cleaner wrasse to nibble tiny parasites off of them. If you can tear your eyes away from the action, you may also spot morays, flatworms, nudibranchs, white-tip reef sharks, tuna, mackerel, trevally, whip-tailed rays, eagle rays and Hawksbill turtles.
