Why dive here
With 100+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Maafusi Outside offers some of South Malé Atoll's richest diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Maafushi Outside often presents a gentle drift along a sloping reef, making it a good spot for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed dive. We typically find reef sharks cruising the deeper sections and an abundance of reef fish closer to the surface. It's a straightforward dive, well-suited for a second dive of the day when you're not chasing big pelagics.
