Finger Point is a reef and drift site in the North Male Atoll, Maldives, offering depths between 3 and 30 metres. Accessible only by boat, the site features a diverse reef structure suitable for beginners, though divers must remain mindful of their depth. Mild currents facilitate a relaxed drift along the reef, which supports hard and soft corals, including black coral in deeper sections. Divers and snorkellers should exercise caution regarding buoyancy to avoid sharp coral and rocks. Stonefish and scorpionfish are present on the reef, requiring careful placement of hands and fins. Night diving is available, providing an alternative perspective of the site topography.
