You and Me Giri - Baa Atoll

You and Me Giri is a friendly little pinnacle in Baa Atoll, perfect for a relaxed dive. We’ve drifted around it many times, finding it just the right depth for extended bottom time, hovering around 18m. It’s a great spot for newer divers, or when you just want a gentle explore without battling current. Expect to see plenty of schooling fusiliers, the usual reef fish like triggerfish and parrotfish, and we’ve often spotted white-tip reef sharks cruising around the base. It’s a comfortable dive, good for getting your buoyancy dialed in.
