Maldives
The name Bodu Gaa means "Big Rock" in Dhivehi (bodu = big, gaa = rock). The site has a manta cleaning station, and glassfish, triggerfish, batfish and green sea turtles are common there.
Green turtles usually rest on top of the rock. In June, curtains of glassfish covered the reef, with large schools of red-toothed triggerfish and anthias.
From May to November, the site usually works as a manta cleaning station, and late August and early September tend to be the most productive periods. In June 2018, already in manta season, mantas were seen on some dives at the cleaning station. The dive usually ends with a swim to the Dhonfanu house reef, called "Turtle Reef" for its resident turtles.
