About this site
Villivaru Giri is a submerged reef formation near the island of Villivaru in Kaafu Atoll, part of the South Male Atoll area of the Maldives, typically reached by dhoni or speedboat from the surrounding resort islands. As a giri, it rises from the atoll floor rather than breaking the surface, giving divers a compact reef structure to work around. The site reaches a maximum depth of about 15 metres and is rated an intermediate dive. Divers have also reported manta rays, snapper, and tuna passing through the area.
