Explore diving in Vaavu Atoll
The diving in Vaavu is popular for its channels and is the perfect location to master the technique of drift diving. Vattaru Reef is an easy dive, protected from strong currents. You'll drift along the reef’s edge with butterflyfish and oriental sweet lips that have a leopard-skin pattern on their fins. Whitetip reef sharks, Napoleon wrasses and eagle rays will be about. Advanced divers can explore the overhangs between 25-30 m.
A dive on the inner reef explores four thilas (submerged islands) which drop off to 20 me. Large schools of lunar fusiliers flash as they swim amongst the well-formed corals; reef sharks and turtles can also be seen. During the wet season you might also find mantas. Advanced divers can encounter hammerhead sharks at the channel’s edge.
