Why dive here
With 45+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, blue sharks, sea turtles and whale sharks - Keyodhoo Shipwreck offers some of Vaavu Atoll's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
The Keyodhoo Shipwreck is one of those dives we always recommend when we're in Vaavu. It's not a huge wreck, but it's full of character, sitting upright and easily penetrable in parts. We love how the light filters through the gaps in the hull, illuminating the busy interior where Charming Hermit Crabs scuttle over encrusting corals. Keep an eye out for Green Turtles gliding past or an Olive Ridley tucked away in a shadowy corner. The wreck itself feels alive with growth. Lettuce corals bloom from rusted metal, and we’ve spotted Acropora Coral Crabs clinging to every available surface. It’s a comfortable dive, usually with mild currents, making it perfect for divers who want to take their time exploring. We’d suggest going early in the morning; the water often has a glassy calm, and you might get the wreck to yourself before other boats arrive.
