    Fish Tank, just north of Malé, is exactly what it sounds like: an easy dive with a lot of fish. It's a shallow spot, rarely going beyond 15 meters, making it ideal for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed second dive. You'll often find schools of snapper and fusiliers hanging out near the reef, with plenty of smaller reef fish darting between the corals. It's a pleasant, straightforward dive if you're not chasing big pelagics.
