Diving in North Malé Atoll delivers plenty of fish action with many dive sites well known for their breathtaking topography and healthy populations of manta rays and sharks. The famous Banana Reef is home to thousands of iconic blue-lined snapper while Manta Point will provide an unforgettable ray encounter. And, at HP Reef and Nassimo Thila, visitors will be blown away by the seemingly endless soft coral fields inhabited by large schools of bright coloured Anthias.

A shipping route through one of the atoll’s channels also left a few wrecks behind that are now home to some amazingly colourful reefs. Overall, the diversity of marine life and different dive sites means North Malé Atoll provides spectacular diving experiences for divers of all levels.

As the ‘original’ destination for diving in the Maldives, resort dive guides and instructors are local experts and are well versed in navigating the ever-changing currents and conditions. So you can maximise your chances of an incredible marine life encounter that North Malé is justifiably famous for.
