Housereef Meedhupparu

Housereef Meedhupparu and a few Dive spots around

Meedhupparu house Reef is a good spot for beginners ( course and discovery scuba), in fact the reef is sloping down for a max. Depth of 30 meters.

Many table corals and hard corals formation. Inside of the lagoon very often you can find black tip- and lemon baby sharks swimming around in the protected shallow areas.
The house reef at the south side near the diving school is ok for diving, and nice for snorkeling, however, nothing in comparison to the surrounding reefs for diving.
The Nagili Thila right infront the southern house reef has a very nice reef and a very nice diving oppotunity to try our new underwater scooters made by Bonex in Germany.
At the north side close to the water bungalows the coral growth is better and from here you can plan also nice night dives. Because of the changing currents, please always get in contact with the Diving Centre.

Current: low – strong
