Best for intermediate divers, 5-25m, boat entry, moderate current.
Trixy Caves in the North Male Atoll offers a combination of open reef and cave exploration at depths between 5 and 25 metres. Divers encounter moderate currents, which can strengthen quickly, making it essential to time entries for slack water. Visibility typically ranges from 10 to 25 metres. The site features coral growth and rock formations, requiring careful buoyancy to avoid sharp coral. As an overhead environment, cave sections necessitate constant air monitoring and clear exit planning. This site is accessible only by boat and is suited for intermediate divers who can manage variable currents and confined spaces.

Time your dive to hit slack water before the current builds, as the cave entrances become significantly trickier to navigate in strong flow. Check locally for the day's conditions before committing to the cave sections.
