Broken Rock in Vaavu Atoll delivers on its name; a split boulder creates a swim-through tunnel, a nice feature on an otherwise straightforward reef. You'll find plenty of hard corals here, along with the usual reef fish and perhaps a whitetip reef shark or two patrolling the deeper sections. It’s a decent drift dive for those comfortable with mild currents, offering a pleasant look at a healthy Maldivian reef.
