Maayafushi

Maayafushi is a small island in the Maldives, located in the North Ari Atoll on the Laccadive Sea. It serves as a gateway for divers exploring nearby atolls and house reef channels. With a couple of local dive centers, guests can arrange dhoni trips, snorkel trips, and introductory or full-diving courses. The Maldives’ clear warm waters support abundant reef life, turtles, and healthy coral surrounds, making the area a practical base for divers staying on a resort island while planning day trips to surrounding reefs and walls.
