Why dive here
With 100+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Vilamendhoo Housereef offers some of South Malé Atoll's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
The Vilamendhoo Housereef in South Malé Atoll offers an easy dive, perfect for warming up or a relaxed afternoon. We’ve seen juvenile blacktip reef sharks cruise the drop-off and, with a bit of luck, even a passing whale shark. It’s a comfortable site, ideal for newer divers or those who prefer a less challenging current.
