This dive site is situated around Kuredu, Lhaviyani Atoll’s most popular resort island, renowned for its calm and clear waters. The fringing reefs are easily accessible and provide a straightforward navigation experience along the island's perimeter, leading to a gentle drop-off. It’s primarily a house reef dive, offering an idyllic introduction to Maldivian underwater beauty without complex underwater navigation.
The vibrant reefs are teeming with a diverse array of fish and corals. Divers and snorkelers are frequently treated to sightings of large marine life, including numerous green and hawksbill sea turtles, active reef sharks, and graceful eagle rays and stingrays patrolling the sandy areas and reef edges.
Kuredu is an excellent destination for year-round diving due to its consistently calm and clear conditions. It is particularly suitable for beginners, snorkelers, and freedivers given its shallow depths and rich marine life close to the surface. Optimal times for big animal encounters are generally consistent throughout the year in the Maldives, offering continuous opportunities for memorable wildlife interactions.
