DIVING IN THE ATOLL OF NORTH MALE:

The clear, deep waters on the external reef of the Atoll of North Male create conditions of excellent visibility, particularly with the incoming tide.
The diving sites near Dhonveli are among the most beautiful and interesting of this area, as they encompass all types of diving experiences, such as passes, shoals, shipwrecks, shark points and manta points.
Pelagic species such as barracuda, trevally, manta rays and sharks meet at the entrance to the pass, attracted by the fresh, oxygenated water carried by the tide.
Inside the atoll has a multitude of shoals and some of the most interesting examples of reef in the whole archipelago.
These diving spots, which started being explored in 1972 when the first tourist resorts opened, are characterised by sea creatures who don’t seem to fear the presence of human beings; divers can therefore experience close encounters with the species inhabiting this area.
