Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Paradise Lagoon offers some of North Malé Atoll's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Paradise Lagoon in North Malé Atoll offers a gentle introduction to Maldivian diving, an ideal spot for those finding their fins. It's a shallow, calm area, barely reaching 6 meters, perfect for practicing buoyancy or getting comfortable in the water. We often see small reef sharks cruising along the sandy bottom here, and the light plays beautifully on the patches of table coral. It’s a peaceful, sun-drenched dive, especially good for photographers wanting to capture the calmer side of the atoll.
