Dive-site story
Maalhos Corner sits on the outer reef contour of Maalhos island in Baa Atoll. Divers descend onto a sloping reef edge that transitions into channel drop-offs and scattered overhangs, where tidal flow brings pelagic action along the blue-water edge.

Location

Seasonality
Northeast monsoon provides calmer seas and optimal visibility, though pelagic activity continues year-round.
