Only the shallow top makes sense for snorkeling. The full slope is a scuba dive, not a snorkel-first site.

Do I need a boat for Lohis?

Yes. Lohis is a resort-access drift reef, so the normal setup is a guided boat or resort dive-center run rather than a shore entry.

It starts shallow and runs down the slope into deeper water, with the main working section on the reef face.

Is Lohis suitable for beginner divers?

It is better for intermediate divers. Confident beginners may manage the shallow top with local guidance, but the drift profile makes it a step up from an easy reef.

What are the conditions like at Lohis?

It is a drift dive, so current direction matters. Expect a moving-water profile along a sloping reef rather than a static calm-water site.

What facilities does Lohis have?

The practical support comes from the resort and dive center; the reef itself does not have standalone facilities.

What marine life can I expect at Lohis?

Turtles, sharks, eagle rays, stingrays, reef manta rays, parrotfish, napoleon wrasse, moray eels, and cleaner shrimp are all reasonable expectations.

When should I plan Lohis?

January to April usually gives the clearest water, although Lohis can be dived year-round.

Use Lohis as a guided drift: the reef slopes off the top, current drives the ride, and the bigger animals are the main draw.

À propos de Lohis

Lohis is a resort-access drift reef in North Male Atoll, Maldives. The site follows a sloping reef with a shallow top and a longer run-out on the outer side, with large blocks scattered through the route. Plan for a guided drift profile rather than a static reef hop, with turtles, sharks, rays, and reef fish moving through the slope when conditions line up.
