    StandoutDramatic cave topography

    Turtle Caves in Baa Atoll is a straightforward dive, perfect for those new to overhead environments. You’ll find several small caves and overhangs at around 20 metres, offering shelter to green sea turtles, often found resting or slowly navigating the nooks. It’s a good spot to practise buoyancy and light work in a calm setting, with currents usually quite mild. We'd suggest it for an easy second dive of the day.
