Why dive here
With 100+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Guraidhoo Corner offers some of South Malé Atoll's richest drift diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Guraidhoo Corner is one of those drift dives where you just let the current do the work. It’s a good spot to relax and watch the scenery go by. You’ll see plenty of the usual reef crabs, like the splotchy Leptodius sanguineus and its smoother cousin, Leptodius nudipes, scurrying around the substrate. The corals here, including the unique Galaxea and various star corals, create some interesting formations to explore as you glide past. This site is a solid choice if you're looking for a low-effort dive with some engaging marine life without any big surprises.
Safety Notes
Drift dive - carry a surface marker buoy (SMB) and stay with your group. Brief the current direction before entry.
