LIVEABOARD DIVING IN Felidhu

Felidhu Atoll, also known as Vaavu Atoll, is comprised of 19 beautiful isles. It is a natural atoll of the Maldives, situated 64km/40mi from the capital city of Maldives. Though this atoll is less developed, it is known for healthy coral reefs, pristine beaches, clear waters and is a part of protected National Park. Divers cam explore channels, submerged pinnacles, reefs, swim-throughs, small caves, walls and overhangs. Most of the sites can be found on the eastern side of the Felidhu Atoll.
