Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - LADY CHRISTINE offers some of North Malé Atoll's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
The Lady Christine is a standout wreck in North Malé, and we think she’s a proper dive. Sunk in 1974 after running aground, this 54-meter supply vessel now lies broken on the reef, making for some fascinating exploration. You’ll find her in two main sections, the bow and stern separated, which adds a cool dimension to the dive. We love dropping onto the bridge, often thick with glassfish, before pushing through the wheelhouse. Keep an eye out for moray eels tucked into the darker recesses. The stern section, with its enormous propeller, is a real photo opportunity, especially when the light catches it just right. Currents can pick up here, so we’d suggest going at slack tide for a more relaxed swim-through experience. It’s not a deep dive, but the sense of history, combined with schools of snapper and surgeonfish darting around the decaying metal, makes it a rewarding wreck for any diver.
