Stage 04
South Malé
The perfect finale among channels and walls
Final stage
Current, topography and life
South Malé combines accessible reefs with channels where currents concentrate nutrients and activity. Its pinnacles, walls and corners allow relaxed dives to alternate with more demanding profiles.
This is a remarkably complete area for grey and white-tip reef sharks, eagle rays, tuna, turtles, schooling fish and macro life in sheltered areas.
