Why dive here
With 100+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Lhohi Giri offers some of South Malé Atoll's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Lhohi Giri offers a pleasant dive, a pinnacle rising from the seabed in South Malé. We often find the corals here are particularly healthy, with big patches of Galaxea and Wrinkle coral, plus some good examples of larger and lesser star coral. It’s a good spot for macro enthusiasts keen to hunt for crabs like *Leptodius sanguineus* tucked into crevices. While it might not deliver big pelagic action every time, it’s a solid, easy dive, perfect for a relaxed afternoon.
