Banana Reef

Because of its proximity to the airport and to the resort islands in the south of North Malé, it was one of the first dive sites discovered in the Maldives. The name comes from the shape of the reef, an elongated curve that looks like a banana when seen from above. One section of the dive is known as the 'Washing Machine'. Among caves and overhangs, you can see giant groupers, angelfish, blue-lined snappers, morays and lobsters.
