About Hide and Seek
Hide and Seek is a boat dive off the west side of Mulidhoo built around overhangs and caves, with a broad blue-water edge that keeps the dive interesting beyond the shelter of the rock. The route is best taken slowly, with good buoyancy and a steady scan of the caves and open water, because resting stingrays and reef sharks can sit inside the shaded sections while eagle rays pass in the blue. It is more of a careful exploration than a fast drift, and a torch helps bring out the structure.
