    Vaageli Faru Süd in South Malé is a solid reef dive, one we often swing by when we’re in the area. It’s not going to blow your mind, but you’ll find plenty to keep your eyes busy. We've had some good luck spotting various pygmygobies here, like the Redlined and Emery's, tucked into the corals. The site is generally a relaxed drift, making it a good pick for divers who enjoy a slower pace and want to focus on the smaller stuff.
