About Coral Garden
Coral Garden is a small circular reef in Vaavu Atoll where a shallow coral crown drops around the edges into an easy reef circuit for relaxed dives and training-friendly sessions. Divers come here for healthy hard coral, patches of soft coral, and steady reef life such as snappers, sweetlips, morays, turtles, and small rays in conditions that are usually gentler than the atoll's better-known channels.
