    Fulhidoo Caves is a nice spot for something a little different in South Malé. We've found the main draw here is exploring the overhangs and the small caves themselves. Inside, you'll often find a charming hermit crab scuttling about and some decent staghorn coral formations, a good photo opportunity if you're patient with your lighting. It's a relatively easy dive, good for divers who want to explore some crevices without anything too challenging.
