About Five Rocks
Five Rocks is the split pinnacle in the Maldives, where five rock fingers rise from the channel into coral-covered slopes, gaps, and overhangs. It is a serious boat dive for divers comfortable with depth and moving water, rewarding guide-led planning, big-fish passes, and patient checking of the rock structure for smaller life.
