The Blue Shadow Reef is a shallow dive with a wide variety of marine species to be seen
Location: North Male Atoll, Bandos, Maldives
Type of Diving: Reef, Drift
Experience: Advanced
Maximum Depth: 20 meters
Average Visibility: 20 meters
Currents: Strong
Access: Boat
Marine Life: Sweet lips, wrasses, snappers, tunas, barracudas
Description: This reasonably shallow reef is a fantastic dive that allows longer bottom time and almost every species of marine life in the Maldives that could be found habituate in this amazing site. The Blue Shadow has very abundant coral formations which may be caused by its strong currents. Novice divers may find the currents too strong for drift diving, but experienced divers could carefully plan a drift dive in this reef. On this site, you are most likely to see all of the usual culprits in the Maldives like wrasses, barracudas, angelfish, sweet lips and snappers. If you are looking out to the deep waters you may also catch a glimpse of some tuna fish cruising by.

Intentionally sunk in 1991, this wreck had amazingly attracted stingrays and divers as well
Location: Ari Atoll, Halaveli, Maldives
Type of Diving: Reef Diving
Experience: Advanced
Maximum Depth: 30 meters
Average Visibility: 30 meters
Currents: None
Access: Boat
Marine Life: Garden eels, shark suckers, bat fish, stingrays, glass fish, silvertip sharks, moray eels
Description: Layers of corals have already covered the structures of this wreck so they could attract a large variety of marine life. The star attraction of this wreck dive is undoubtedly the black-spotted stingrays that cruise around the wreck. They have no fear of the diver, so quite often they come very close. Following them around the sunken liner are usually schools of bat fish and a number of shark suckers. There are a couple of moray eels lurking halfway along the deck and hundreds of glass fish usually create a shimmering affect as they dart to and fro about the cabin. On the sea bed, you will find numerous garden eels who take cover as soon as they see a diver, only to slowly show their heads again soon after. Occasionally, you will also come across a silvertip shark or two. Divers can also plan a dive into the interior of the liner if they have suitable experience and a local dive master accompanying them.
