Vaavu Atoll

The power of the channels

Felidhoo is part of Vaavu Atoll, an area known for channels connected to the open ocean. Nutrient-rich water concentrates fish and attracts predators, creating dynamic dives shaped by the current.

This more remote stage offers corners, walls and channels where divers may see grey reef sharks, eagle rays, tuna, trevally and large schools of fish.
