Most charmed divers could spot eagle rays, barracuda, big-eye trevally, eagle rays, triggerfish, tuna and reef sharks. The marine life comprises numerous species of damselfish, snapper, long-nose hawk fish, and feather star fishes. Presence of dainty corals in mostly shallow areas, they are ideal to encounter rare invertebrate species such as nudibranchs, flatworms, leaf fish and frog fish, and more pelagic. The exterior reefs have several sandy inlets and ridges cutting across it, and sandy slopes transpire commonly as popular reef shark spots.

Dive site options in all Luxury Maldives Resorts and nearby areas also include some very dandy and interesting shipwrecks featuring prodigious array of soft corals in a riot in bright colours, flanked by black corals and gorgonian fans and all the usual. The natural dive sites hold overhangs, swim-throughs and caves with chimneys which are worthy probes. The main reefs have a beautiful terrain of coral ridges, usually teaming with schools of flamboyant fish life. There also are bijou bays with sandy patches where gobies, shrimps, dogtooth tunas, fusiliers and oriental sweetlips are spotted. Some reef tops are shallower, just perfect depth where you can complete your safety stop among the fields of anemones, soft corals and tunicates, which are bright and vibrant in the sun’s nourishing rays.
