Why dive here
With 100+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Villivaru Giri offers some of South Malé Atoll's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Villivaru Giri is a small pinnacle in South Malé Atoll, often overlooked for the flashier channels nearby. We find it's best for a relaxed second dive, with resident reef fish like snappers and fusiliers hanging out around the top. Keep an eye on the sandy bottom for garden eels. It’s a good, easy dive for shaking out the kinks on your first day.
