Why dive here
With 100+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Biyadoo Kuda Giri offers some of South Malé Atoll's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Biyadoo Kuda Giri, a pinnacle in South Malé Atoll, often feels like a gentle introduction to Maldivian diving. We’ve found the currents here are usually mild, making it a good spot for a relaxed drift, though always check with your guide. Keep an eye out for the smaller inhabitants – there’s a surprising number of pygmygobies, like Emery's and Large-eye, tucked into the corals. You’ll also spot fields of seagrass, a nice contrast to the usual reef, with species like *Cymodocea* and *Thalassia* swaying in the subtle surge. It’s not the most dramatic dive in the Maldives, but it’s a pleasant, easy outing.
