Why dive here
With 100+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Guradoo South offers some of South Malé Atoll's richest channel diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Guradoo South isn't the flashiest spot in South Malé, but it's a solid, dependable dive. We often drop in here for a relaxed second dive, finding a pleasant slope with plenty of Galaxea, Wrinkle, and star corals to explore. It's a nice place to slow down and really appreciate the smaller scale reef life, rather than being constantly swept along. We’d suggest it for divers who enjoy a calmer drift, where the details of the reef come into focus.
