    Easy Express in South Malé is a good spot to get comfortable with drift diving. The reef here drops to a comfortable 24m, making it approachable for newer divers looking to experience the thrill of gliding along with the current. We’ve often seen white-tip reef sharks cruising past, and the reef wall usually has plenty of schooling fusiliers and snapper. It’s a pretty mellow current usually, a great introduction to the Maldivian channel dives without feeling like you're on a rocket.
