Maldives

Addu Atoll

Addu Atoll in the central Maldives offers sheltered, calm seas with easy access to shallow reefs and sandy patches around its ring-shaped atoll. Diving tends to be mellow with clear turquoise water, good visibility, and abundant coral life, small reef fishes, and occasional larger pelagic visitors near the channels. Most dive sites lie within relatively shallow depths suitable for recreational divers, with boat access from Maamendhoo and Hithadhoo hubs nearby. The atoll is known for drift and wall sites along its outer lagoon rim, as well as pristine house reefs close to inhabited islands.
