About Ihi Reef

Ihi Reef is an outside reef wall in South Male Atoll with overhangs, clear water, and a steady mix of reef fish and macro life. A torch helps pick out the details under the ledges, and the site suits straightforward reef-wall diving. It is best treated as a planned wall dive, with a briefed entry, a relaxed pace, and enough structure to keep the route easy to read once you are in the water.
