    Noonu Atoll, though technically a fair hop north from Baa, often gets bundled in the "Northern Maldives" adventures, and for good reason. We’re talking about a stretch of reef here where the big stuff turns up consistently. You'll find yourself drifting along channels, eyes peeled for grey reef sharks cruising by, often with schools of fusiliers so thick they momentarily block the sun. This area is definitely for the experienced diver; currents can be lively, but that’s precisely what brings in the pelagics. If you’re comfortable with a bit of drift and want to get away from the more trodden paths, Noonu delivers those classic Maldives big fish encounters.
