About Dragon’s Mouth
Dragon's Mouth is a classic North Malé Atoll outer-reef site built around a sheltered inlet with a chain of small caves. The route stays colorful and calm inside the mouth, then opens onto soft-coral ledges and a gentle reef line where schools of fish gather, so it suits relaxed photo dives, steady buoyancy, and careful cave peeking rather than fast current-chasing. The site rewards slow pacing and a torch for looking into the deeper cave pockets.
