Why dive here
With 100+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Alikoe Giri offers some of South Malé Atoll's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Alikoe Giri is a gentle introduction to Maldivian pinnacles. It’s a shallow spot, topping out at 16 metres, which makes it a really comfortable dive for newer divers or those who just want to take it easy. We’ve drifted around its edges, spotting plenty of damselfish and fusiliers, the kind of fish that seem to swarm in the shallows here. Keep an eye out for moray eels tucked into the coral; they love this kind of shelter. It’s a good, unhurried dive if you’re in South Malé and want a relaxed afternoon in the water.
