The best dive sites in Lhaviyani depend on the month and your level, but the atoll is known for reefs a shorter ride north of Malé. Start from the Atoll Compass diving list for Lhaviyani, 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.
