Shallow North Male reef with four faces
Shallow North Male reef with four faces
Kuda Madi Giri is a shallow North Male Atoll reef with a very shallow start, four distinct faces, and a slope that opens out to strong hard coral and swim-through structure. It is a scenic Maldives reef for divers who want an easy, visibility-driven dive with young stingrays, coral detail, and enough terrain to keep each face interesting. The site works best when you move slowly across the reef and give each side time to show its own character.
