Maafushi Caves
★★★★★
(135)
Small caves & overhangs that lays in the middle of the pass between Maafushi & Anantara Resort. Good fish life, and nice soft coral growing underneath the coral formations, tucked away from light and current, which can be quite strong here.
All type of reef fish, some macro (nudibranches), garden eels in the sandy area, jackfish, and the occasional turtle.
