ZONE: Male'-Vaavu-Ari

Day - 1:

Made onboard the safari-boat “Horizon III”. Embark from “Velaana International Airport” (Male’ zone).

Since the Check-In to the “Horizon III” is on 1200 hours (12:00 pm), the transfer from Airport to the safari-boat departs at 1130 hours (11:30 am). The timing here is very Important – as if the guest(s) misses the transfer – then they will miss the same day Check-Dive.

Check Dive is in the afternoon.

Day - 2:

Dive-1 – (Maagiri)

Maagiri Caves *** – On the north side of the Maagiri reef a big rock at 20 metres appears to have broken away from the reef creating a semi-circular cliff with a canyon. There is also a big overhang here. Nearby are many small caves between 5 and 30 metres. Snapper, big-nose unicornfish, triggerfish, angelfish, fusilier and eagle rays can be seen around the rock. On the reef top is a beautiful display of coral.

Maagiri Thila * – This is a series of rocks rising from around 20 metres on the eastern side of Maagiri reef. Healthy stands of hard coral lie above 15 metres. It is a good site for beginners.

Predictably, currents at the channel entrance attract a range of pelagic, large napoleon and eagle rays.

Dive-3 – (Alimatha Night Dive)

Felidhoo Atoll is more isolated and less developed than the other tourist atolls. It has excellent scuba diving and snorkelling, remote uninhabited islands, sandbanks and the islanders are friendly and hospitable. For these reasons Felidhoo Atoll is a popular destination for Safari Boats and memorable trips and excellent diving is GUARANTEED.

There are not many “thila dives” in this atoll, with most of the diving being in the 26 channels on the eastern side. These channels are mostly long and deep and suitable for “advanced divers”. Many have narrow entrances and when travelling down the eastern side of the atoll they can easily be passed unnoticed

  - Depth: 5m – 25m

Both sides of Rangalhi Kandu made exciting drift dives. The reefs here act like a funnel, forcing the water at accelerated speed both in and out of the atoll. During the north-east monsoon manta rays feed on the plankton-rick waters that generally flow with the currents out of the atoll.

Diving Hints: The reef is subject to strong currents – which is one reason why the mantas are here – and at the southern end, the top reef drops down to a 10 metre plateau extending well out into the open ocean.

NOTE: be prepared to abort the dive if currents are too strong or the seas too rough. Safety ballons should be carried.
