About Vaagali Outside
Vaagali Outside is an easy boat-dive on the outside reef in South Malé Atoll, with a drop-off that steps back into a large cavity and then settles onto a sandy lower section. The site is a relaxed but photogenic wall dive: coral blocks are wrapped in soft corals, reef fish cluster around the rocks, and the sheltered shape makes it a good choice for torches, cameras, and slower-paced dives.
