About Maaneyreh

Maaneyreh is a reef-and-wall dive off Fuvahmulah's west side, just out from the Maaneyre beach area. It is usually run as a short boat dive over hard coral and reef fish, with a blue-water slope that can bring pelagic surprises when current is moving. The site works for newer scuba divers on the shallower reef but still rewards slower, more attentive reef scanning.
