Why dive here
With 100+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Guradoo South Outside offers some of South Malé Atoll's richest channel diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Guradoo South Outside offers a relaxed drift, a good option when you’re looking for a comfortable dive in the South Malé Atoll. The reef itself has some nice patches of Galaxea and Lesser Star Coral, interspersed with seagrass beds of *Cymodocea* and *Thalassia*. We’ve found it to be a pretty mellow dive overall, often with decent visibility, making it a solid choice for divers who prefer a gentle pace. While you’re not likely to encounter huge pelagics here, it’s a pleasant spot for a leisurely exploration of the reef's smaller inhabitants.
