Blue Point is a reef and drop-off site in North Male Atoll, Maldives, suited for intermediate divers. The topography ranges from 15 to 25 metres in depth, with visibility typically between 10 and 30 metres. Access is by boat only. Divers encounter moderate currents that can intensify, making it necessary to stay near the reef structure. Marine life includes wrasses, which are very common, alongside uncommon sightings of spotted eagle rays, day octopus, giant moray, titan triggerfish, lunartail grouper, painted spiny lobster, Maldive anemonefish, elongate clam, lagoon triggerfish, orangestripe triggerfish, and rock cod. Divers should use a surface marker buoy and confirm current conditions with their operator before entry.

Time your dive to coincide with an incoming current where possible, as this tends to push nutrients along the drop-off and keeps marine activity concentrated in one area. Confirm current predictions with your dive operator on the day, as conditions at Blue Point can shift.
Access is provided via liveaboard boats or dive centers located on resort and local islands.
