Entrence 128 in North Malé Atoll is where we often find ourselves when we need a good reminder of why we fell in love with diving. It’s not the flashiest site, no dramatic drop-offs or massive wrecks, but it's consistent, and sometimes consistency is exactly what you want. We love heading here first thing in the morning, right after sunrise, before the currents really pick up. You’ll often find a gentle push then, just enough to drift along and watch the reef wake up. The Green Turtles and Olive Ridleys are definitely the main draw here. We've had dives where we’ve lost count of how many we’ve seen, gliding past, completely unbothered by our presence. Keep an eye out for the unusual conch shells too, especially the Sand-dusted Cone and the chunky Humpbacked conch, just rumbling along the sandy patches. This site is brilliant for those who enjoy a relaxed pace, taking time to really observe the turtles and smaller critters. It’s perfect for a second dive of the day, when you want something beautiful but not too demanding.
