5 Palms, Thulusdhoo
★★★★★
(173)
5 Palms is a fun drift dive that has something to offer for every level of diver. The top of the reef starts at 5m and drops down at 8m. At 22/25m there is a sandy plateau on the edge of which big fish appear from time to time.
Besides the usual suspects like napoleons, whitetip reef sharks, sweetlips, perch, green turtles, and stingrays, you can see manta rays and mobulas at the right time.
