Why dive here
With 100+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Olhuveli Kuda Giri offers some of South Malé Atoll's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Olhuveli Kuda Giri is a smaller pinnacle, not one of those massive thilas, but it’s still worth a dive if you're in South Malé Atoll. You'll likely see a good mix of corals, with wrinkle coral and galaxea holding their own alongside beds of thalassia and cymodocea. We've often found ourselves watching the little crabs, like *Leptodius sanguineus*, busy about their business on the reef. It's a relaxed dive, good for getting back in the water or for divers who prefer a slower pace to really observe the smaller stuff.
