This dive site, also known as Kanuhuura, is located on Dhonveli, a small resort island just 16 kilometers north of Male. It offers two distinct underwater environments: a shallow lagoon on the eastern side and a house reef with a drop-off on its western side. The site is easily accessible directly from the island, providing convenient shore entry for both snorkeling and diving activities.
Divers and snorkelers can expect to encounter an extraordinary variety of marine life. The reef is home to several species of sharks, graceful sea turtles, vibrant clownfish, and various stingrays. The healthy coral reef provides a thriving ecosystem for these creatures, ensuring a colorful and engaging experience.
Dhonveli is suitable for both beginners and experienced water enthusiasts due to its varied depths. The shallow lagoon is perfect for new snorkelers and divers, while the reef drop-off to 15 meters offers more exploration. The Maldives generally offers excellent conditions year-round, making it a reliable destination for a memorable underwater adventure.
