Kaafu Atoll

Kaafu Atoll, an administrative region in the Maldives, covers a central cluster of atolls in the Laccadive Sea within the Malé area. The region is characterized by sheltered lagoons, white-sand beaches, and clear turquoise water typical of the central Maldives. Diving here is mostly accessible from Malé and local resort hubs, with sites offering manta and reef fish encounters, drift or wall dives, and abundant macro life in vibrant house reefs. The area serves divers seeking easier access from the capital and resort islands, with a mix of shallow reef dives and deeper channels suitable for recreational to intermediate levels.
