Why dive here
With 45+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, blue sharks, sea turtles and whale sharks - Seafan offers some of Vaavu Atoll's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Seafan in Vaavu Atoll is a drift dive that often has you gliding past sea grass beds of cymodocea and thalassia. It's not a site for vibrant corals or big pelagics; instead, it offers a quieter look at the reef floor's vegetation, which can be surprisingly active with smaller critters if you slow down. We'd suggest it for divers who appreciate the subtle ecosystems rather than the usual Maldivian spectacle.
