About this site

Madivaru Corner sits at a reef point in Lhaviyani Atoll, in the northern Maldives, reached by boat from resorts and dive centers based in the atoll, and is built around a wall with a reef bottom. It reaches a maximum depth of around 30 metres, is rated an intermediate dive, and typically has medium current running along the corner. Eagle rays and reef sharks are regular here, and divers have also reported angelfish, barracuda, hammerhead sharks, jacks, leaf scorpionfish, mobula rays, Napoleon wrasse, triggerfish, and tuna passing through.
