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.

Scuba
A short boat-supported reef-and-wall dive with a shallow coral top, a deeper slope, and room to watch the blue for passing animals.
