Dive the Southern Maldives

Maldives

Until recently the far south of the Maldives was only accessible by liveaboard dive boat. Nowadays there are some top quality resorts cropping up.

Venture into the Maldives Archipelago in the extreme south and you will know how the pioneers felt years ago. So much of the ocean and reefs have been unexplored and each liveaboard safari returns with a list of pristine, spectacular new thilas to investigate on the next trip. Resorts are rare and, with only a few liveaboards cruising the Southern Atolls of the Maldive Islands, you will often be the only boat as far as you can see.

Visibility is superb in the warm waters surrounding the atolls. Healthy corals are virtually untouched by humans. Large pelagics including whale sharks are attracted into the channels to feed on the profusion of smaller reef fish schooling close to the coral walls and submerged thilas.

We are big fans of the Maldives as a whole but the far south of the country offers something a little different.

Having the entire sea to yourself and being the only dive group on any given site is a rarity further south (unless you're really far south), but is one of the charms of exploring this region that includes the atolls of Baa, Raa, Lhaviyani and Noonu.
