Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Trixy Caves offers some of North Malé Atoll's richest cave diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Trixy Caves offers a mellow experience, perfect if you’re looking to explore some overhead environments without anything too demanding. We’ve always found the caves here to be more like large swim-throughs, really, with plenty of light filtering in from the surface. You'll often spot smaller reef fish tucked into the crevices, and sometimes a resting nurse shark makes an appearance. It’s a comfortable dive, maxing out around 25m, making it a good choice for newer divers keen to try something a little different.
