Baros House Reef

Baros house reef is a shallow, gently sloping reef system that surrounds the island of Baros. Located close to the resort area on Baros Island, it offers easy entry from the shoreline and calm, clear waters typical of Malé Atoll. The site features healthy coral cover with a mosaic of hard corals, small reef fish, wrasses, damselfish, moray eels, and occasional schooling fish. Depths are shallow, generally ranging from a few meters to about 12–15 meters, making it suitable for beginners and snorkelers alike as well as experienced divers doing a relaxed drift or a leisurely macro dive along the reef edge. Currently, access is straightforward from Baros resort facilities, and local rules emphasize reef protection and conservation.
