Guraidhoo Outside
Easy reef dive with August whale shark odds.
A gentle South Male reef with a small August current and a real chance of whale sharks.
About Guraidhoo Outside
Guraidhoo Outside is a long, gently sloping South Male reef that stays easy and readable across the shallow reef band. August brings a small south-to-east current and the best chance of whale sharks, so the site is more dynamic than its easy profile suggests. On calmer days it is a simple boat dive with a broad reef slope and a lot of appeal for beginners and casual certified divers.
