Title: Diving & Snorkeling

Kurumba Maldives is one of the premier diving resorts in the Maldives, located inside the Atoll and is surrounded by wave breakers which allows for snorkelling right around the island. With generally low levels of current and a quality House Reef in turquoise waters, snorkelling here is an enjoyable experience.  The island’s House Reef is a vibrant ecosystem and invites exploration both in the lagoon and outside on the reef.

The top of the Kurumba House Reef is approximately 1-2 metres deep and slopes down to 10 – 30m (80m on the south side) from the edge to the sandy bottom below. Progressing a little at a time, you will discover the wonders of the coral reef: millions of years of coral growth forming an island that teems with life both above and below the waters contributing to an enchanting Maldives scuba diving adventure.
