    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Thundi in Vaavu Atoll delivers a solid drift dive experience. The current here is often brisk, pulling you along a reef edge dotted with seagrass beds, specifically *Thalassia* and *Cymodocea*. It’s a good spot for divers who enjoy covering ground and seeing what the open water brings past. Keep an eye out for larger pelagics riding the flow.

    Safety Notes

    Drift dive - carry a surface marker buoy (SMB) and stay with your group. Brief the current direction before entry.
