Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Ihi Gaa offers some of North Malé Atoll's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Ihi Gaa, like many of North Malé's sites, often delivers a solid drift dive. We've often found ourselves gliding past reef sharks patrolling the channel edge here, with schools of snappers holding formation against the current. It's a spot that usually offers consistent pelagic encounters, making it a good pick for those who enjoy a bit of current and open water action. Expect a classic Maldivian channel dive experience.
