Diving in Southern Nilandhe Atoll

Another great spot for beginners to start their diving journey, the Southern Nilandhe Atoll is wider, shallower and has weaker currents than many other areas of the Maldives. The Loricanto channel and Lohi Island are the two best places to check out in the area. The channel has coral, a thila and stronger current than other places so it is a slight step up from Lohi Island. The island is great though and presents beautiful caves and overhangs to explore that all levels of divers will appreciate.
