Diving in North West Haa Alif Atoll

The Haa Alif Atoll is the northernmost dive site on this list. The channel areas on the North and West sides of the atoll are shallower, wider and have weaker currents than most areas you will find in the Maldives which makes it a great spot for beginners or less experienced divers. There is still a ton of great marine life and here you can find many manta rays in the channels. There are plenty of overhangs as well where you can see lobsters, lionfish and explore caves for a variety of pufferfish.
