    Stage Reef offers a straightforward dive on a coral reef in South Malé Atoll. You’ll find a mix of hard and soft corals, where smaller reef fish tend to hang out. It’s a decent option for a relaxed second dive or for divers getting comfortable with Maldivian reef diving. We typically see a few parrotfish and snapper here.
