Gemanafushi Blue
Why dive here
With 45+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, blue sharks, sea turtles and whale sharks - Gemanafushi Blue offers some of Vaavu Atoll's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Gemanafushi Blue is exactly what it sounds like: a big, open water drift in the blue off Vaavu Atoll. We’re talking no reef, no seabed for reference, just you, your buddy, and your instruments. It’s a definite pick for advanced divers comfortable with that wide-open feeling. We’ve had some cracking encounters here, mainly with hammerheads and silky sharks cruising through. We’ve also seen Olive Ridleys sometimes, just hanging out. Visibility often pushes past 25 metres, giving you a proper chance to spot whatever’s passing by in the big blue. It’s a roll of the dice, sure, but a fun one if you’re up for a current ride.
