Best Dive Sites in Kaafu

The best dive sites in Kaafu depend on the month and your level, but the atoll is known for easy day boats from Malé and the airport islands. Start from the Atoll Compass diving list for Kaafu, then open each site for depth and the island it leaves from. Beginners should ask for a sheltered reef. Current in channels is the usual limit, not the name on the map.

Liveaboards and resort centres visit different sides of the atoll. A guesthouse trip usually dives the sites within a morning's boat ride.
