Dive-site story
Running along the edge of Felidhoo Island in Vaavu Atoll, this fringing reef transitions from shallow hard coral flats into a gradual slope before dropping onto sand. Divers often encounter passing pelagics near the outer corners where tidal currents pick up, while sheltered sections offer calm conditions suitable for training and night dives.
Resident hawksbill turtles grazing along the upper coral shelf
Overhangs sheltering giant morays and cleaning shrimp stations
Occasional nurse sharks and stingrays resting along the sandy floor
Location
