About this site
Saddle sits within North Male Atoll in the Kaafu administrative division of the Maldives, an area of channels and reef systems reached by dhoni or dive boat from the nearby resort islands and Male itself. The atoll's dive sites are typically built around thila formations and channel edges cut by the tidal flow between the ocean and the inner atoll lagoon.
