Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Dhiffushi South Corner offers some of North Malé Atoll's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Dhiffushi South Corner offers a gentle introduction to Maldivian diving, a nice relaxed drift along a sloping reef. The coral here is fairly healthy, with plenty of table corals and branching structures providing cover for reef fish. We often spot groups of snapper hanging out in the deeper sections and the occasional whitetip reef shark patrolling the edge. It's a great spot for beginners or anyone looking for an easy second dive, with a maximum depth of 23m keeping things comfortable.
