About this site
Vaavu Atoll sits in the central Maldives, southeast of Male, and is known for its channels and outer reef edges that drop into deep water. Golden Wall lies along this atoll's reef system, reached by boat from local dive operations based in the area. Vaavu is less developed than the more touristed atolls to the north, and its dive sites are typically visited from liveaboards or guesthouses on the atoll's inhabited islands.
