MEYYAFUSHI BEYRU

A site not to be missed by the experienced diver. With the right current Meyyafushi Kandu is a great channel to cross and experience what so many people come to the Maldives for. Starting from either one of the corners the actual swim only takes about 20 minutes.

Imagine a wall! A real drop off that doesn’t stop dropping! A reef that disappears into the blue! Do you have the picture in front of your inner eye? Then you are right at Faadhoo Beyru, one of the best dive sites we have on offer in the proximity of Le Meridien Maldives.

Faadhoo Kandu is one of the two magnificent channels located north east of Le Meridien Maldives. The potential strong current is not for the faint hearted and a crossing is only possible on a mild current since the bottom is too deep to be able to hide from it.

The dive at Dhihfushimaadhoo Beyru is usually a gentle drift dive towards a channel or vice versa. Located on the outside reef you can expect great visibility and very nice hard corals. The lagoon is connected to the open ocean and offers the perfect breeding and nursing grounds for all types of fish.

Hudhu Thila is a great site for macro diving. Hudhu Thila is located north east of Le Meridien and has a top reef at approximately 5 meters. From there it drops to the bottom at 25 to 30 meters and features some lovely overhangs. Hudhu Thila is a great site for macro diving.

This pinnacle is located in the northeast channel of Lhaviyani Atoll. You can find a large plateau covered in coral blocks that act as cleaning stations for the manta rays during the southwest monsoon.

Just insane! That exclamation best describes Nemo Thila which is located 60 minutes to the north of Le Meridien. The dive site will blow your mind and not surprisingly, it is located inside a national park. Stunning colors and more juvenile fish and small sardines than you could ever imagine live here.

Salleydhoo Thila is another lovely dive site located about a 15-minute boat ride to the north of Le Meridien Maldives. Salleydhoo Thila has a very interesting topography. The southern part of the dive site doesn’t have the usual round-ish shape, but we find two tongues here that reach a depth of 20 – 22 meters.

It takes us 55 minutes by boat to get there from Le Meridien. The dive site is also a super beautiful macro haven. The dive at Ihi starts at shallow depth of 5 to 8 meters. In the north it drops steeply to approximately 25 meters.

A nice and easy site 20 minutes to the north east of Le Meridien Maldives. A top reef with healthy hard coral gardens at about 5 meters. he dive site reaches a depth of a maximum of 25 meters and features a large and very nice coral block in the north east at approximately 20 meters depth.
