About Black Coral
Black Coral is a broad reef-wall dive in North Male Atoll with a shallow top, a circular layout, and a sandy bottom that gives divers several lines to explore. Overhangs and a small swim-through add structure without turning it into a full penetration dive. It suits divers who want an easy-to-mid-level reef with plenty of relief for night dives and fish spotting.
