    Prisca Head in North Malé Atoll offers a straightforward dive, often with a moderate current. It's a good spot to drift along, keeping an eye out for reef sharks patrolling the deeper sections and schooling fusiliers further up. The coral here is recovering well in patches, providing shelter for smaller reef fish. We'd suggest it for divers looking for a relaxed drift and an easy chance to spot some pelagics.
