Dive-site story
Encircling the island resort in North Malé Atoll, Kurumba House Reef provides straightforward access directly from the beach or designated entry jetties. The shallow lagoon transitions into an outer reef crest with gentle slopes and small coral overhangs. While artificial wave breakers safeguard portions of the shallows, the outer slope drops towards a sandy seabed frequented by resident pelagics and reef fish.
Reliable encounters with juvenile blacktip reef sharks in the shallow lagoon and larger whitetip reef sharks along the drop-off
Regular sightings of hawksbill turtles grazing among soft and hard coral patches
Convenient shore access suitable for unguided buddy pairs, refresher dives, and night diving
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
The northeast monsoon brings the driest weather, calmest surface conditions, and peak underwater visibility.
