Dive Spot Guide•
1000 Rocks
Meemu Atoll reef with plateau and cavern sections.
Boat-accessed Maldives reef with a sandy plateau, deeper caverns, and strong macro life; best in the dry season.
About 1000 Rocks
1000 Rocks is a Meemu Atoll reef inside a marine nature reserve, with a shallow sandy plateau that slopes through coral formations before opening into larger caverns. The site works as a mixed reef-and-cavern dive: shallow structure for easy reef cruising, then a more serious section from the deeper caverns onward. It is a strong choice for divers who want coral, macro life, and a little overhead structure without losing the Maldives-style clear-water feel.

Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Overhead environmentRestricted access
Safety Notes
The caverns start around 18 m, so good buoyancy and a conservative gas plan matter. The site is inside a marine nature reserve, so keep hands off the corals and structure.

Located inside a marine nature reserve and reached by boat, with entry north of the Faru.
Legal Notes
Follow marine reserve rules and avoid disturbing coral formations or cavern walls. This is a protected-site dive, not a casual swim spot.
Local Intel For 1000 Rocks
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A plateau-and-cavern reef that lets you cruise the shallow reef top before dropping to the larger features below.
Freediving
The shallow plateau can work for experienced freedivers, but the caverns are scuba territory and should be treated as such.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first site; the plateau is shallow, but the real structure sits too deep for casual surface snorkeling.
