HP Reef Dive Site — Maldives

About HP Reef

Known officially as "Girifushi Thila" but nicknamed HP Reef after the nearby hotel, this is North Malé Atoll's most colourful dive. The reef is blanketed in rainbow soft corals – vivid reds, pinks, and purples – creating a surreal underwater garden. Macro enthusiasts find nudibranchs, ghost pipefish, and leaf scorpionfish hiding among the coral branches. Giant moray eels peer from crevices, and lionfish hover above the overhangs at every turn.
