Hudhuveli Beyru - North Malé Atoll

Hudhuveli Beyru is a good spot in North Malé for a relaxed dive, especially if you’re newer to the game. The maximum depth of 24 meters means it’s well within recreational limits, and generally, the conditions are pretty cooperative. You'll drift along a gentle slope, keeping an eye out for whitetip reef sharks resting on the sandy bottom or a turtle munching on a coral head. It’s not one for huge pelagics or dramatic topography, but we’ve always found it a pleasant way to spend an hour underwater, often with good visibility.
