About this site
Alif Dhaal Atoll sits in the central Maldives, a coral atoll in the Indian Ocean south of the capital region, and Mahibadhoo is its administrative island and main population center. Dive sites around this atoll are typically reached by boat from Mahibadhoo or from resorts and liveaboards operating in the area. The atoll's outer reefs and channels face the open ocean on one side and the inner lagoon on the other.
