South Male Atoll is famous for its current-swept channels and provides guests with a wide variety of stunning diving no matter their skill level and experience. Known for its steep walls, ledges, and small caves, South Malé’s underwater environment is famous for its variety of reef fish common to the Maldives, as well as plenty of macro life and several manta ray cleaning stations.
Kandooma Thila – often known as Cocoa Thila – is one of the most famous dive sites in the Maldives. Set within a wide channel, this manta cleaning station is also patrolled by grey reef sharks and chances are high that you will find schooling eagle rays, turtles, and colorful reef fish covering the entire reef. Guraidhoo is another beautiful site and the large marine protected area is home to a massive concentration of reef life, including sharks, schooling trevallies, rays, turtles and reef fish. The complex of channels, reefs, walls and drops offs also has some fantastic locations to spot manta rays during the season from May to October, as well as stunning soft corals.
