Gaafaru

Gaafaru is a small island settlement in Malé Atoll, Maldives, and a practical stepping-off point for scuba trips in the surrounding Indian Ocean waters. Diving here is typically reef-focused, with sites found around local channels, patch reefs, and sheltered drop-offs depending on the day’s conditions. Visibility is often good when the weather is calm, and you may encounter reef fish and rays, while larger pelagic sightings are more site- and season-dependent. Most visits are arranged through nearby dive centers, usually with short boat rides to the day’s selected sites, plus entry options suitable for both certified divers and guided experiences.
