For beginners and experienced divers, Captain will recommend the finest sites in Noonu Atoll or beyond, teeming with exotic marine life, and comfortably accessible by Azimut. Here are some of our preferred dive sites: This Thila makes dreams come true. The top reef of the North-side of the Thila starts at 14 meters and drops off steep to a sandy bottom. When the current comes from the North-West side, you can observe large barracudas staying motionless into the current or chasing when the opportunity comes. One of the most precious Thilas in Noonu Atoll. It rises up from a 30 meter deep sandy bottom. It is named this way because the profile of the reef looks like a Christmas tree. It has deep and shallow overhangs at the bottom, with layers and plateaux.
A sunken shipyard is an incomparable diving spot with two wreckages on a single diving site. The Skipjack 1 and 2 appear to have been stretching out within this sift ever since the early 80 s and they are now emblasoned with brilliantly colored soft and hard coral reefs. Kuredu Express is one of the most famous dive sites in the Lhaviyani Atoll. Express gets its name from the strong currents that can flow here. There is a sandy channel leading to the corner of the reef, which reveals terraces at different depths a great place to stop and watch the action. Diving Experience Options ½ day cruise: 4 hour excursion, including one dive accompanied by a dedicated dive instructor (nearby dive location less than ½ hour navigation Raafushi or Dhigura in Noonu Atoll ). 1 day cruise: 8 hour excursion, including lunch at anchor and 1 or 2 dives, depending on your preference, accompanied by your dedicated dive instructor.
