    Venture to Baa Atoll’s far northern reaches, and you’re really getting off the beaten path. This isn't a quick hop from Malé; you’ll be on a seaplane, heading for Haa Alifu and Haa Dhaalu. The payoff? We’ve found reefs here that feel genuinely untouched, full of hard and soft corals painted in surprising colours. Keep an eye out for leopard sharks lounging on the sand, or whitetips patrolling the deeper sections. We’ve also had some lovely encounters with manta rays gliding by, and the occasional giant trevally makes for a thrilling pass. It's a trip for those who value solitude and the feeling of discovery over a bustling dive scene.
