Why dive here
With 100+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Bungalow 78 exit offers some of South Malé Atoll's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Bungalow 78 is one of those dives that feels a bit like cheating, in the best possible way. The sheer density of reef fish here is astounding. We love drifting along, watching schools of blackfin soldierfish hover in the shade of the overhangs, sometimes so thick they completely obscure the reef wall. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff too, we’ve spotted redlined pygmygobies darting between the closed brain coral and even a few elusive bloodspot pipefish tucked away. It’s a wonderfully relaxed drift, ideal for photographers or anyone who just wants to soak in the Maldives’ classic reef vibe without battling a strong current. This is a dive we always recommend for a chill afternoon.
