Rainbow Reef

Rainbow Reef is a renowned Malé area dive site offering a vibrant wall-and-reef experience just a short boat ride from Malé. The site features healthy coral formations, gardens of soft corals, and numerous reef fish typical of the Maldivian atolls, with the possibility of encountering reef sharks and turtles on extended dives. Depths commonly range from shallow reef tops down to deeper channels, with clear water and good visibility typical of the region. Access is straightforward from nearby Malé and Gulhi Falhu, making it a popular choice for both day trips and introductory drift dives when currents allow. Divers should plan for current conditions and use reef-safe practices to protect the delicate coral habitats.
