Gan Inside is a sheltered house reef in front of Equator Village in Addu Atoll, also known as Gan House Reef. The site starts shallow and slopes gently through sandy corridors and coral blocks, which makes the route easy to read and comfortable for newer divers. Expect a calm, colorful dive with stingrays, turtles, and other reef life, plus a shallow profile that stays interesting without feeling busy.
