Bodu Loa offers a gentle drift along a healthy reef in North Malé Atoll. It’s a shallow dive, maxing out at 21m, which makes it an excellent spot for newer divers to get comfortable with Maldivian currents. You’ll see plenty of reef fish going about their day, and if you keep an eye on the blue, the occasional pelagic might cruise by. We’d pick Bodu Loa for a relaxed, easy dive.
