Felidhu: world-class diving and Fottheyo, the largest reef in the country. The statistical row for the quarter was not obtained — figures show as a dash, not a zero.

Getting there

Ninety minutes by boat — the only atoll outside Kaafu reachable by sea without switching to air. For dive groups that settles the schedule question.

Typical transfer from Velana International: speedboat, about 90 minutes.

Season and demand

The atoll works on year-round, best visibility jan–apr, and its quarterly figures are not in the Ministry table we hold. The row shows a dash rather than a zero, because the gap is in our copy of the source and not in the atoll.
