Best for intermediate divers, 10-30m, boat entry, moderate current.
Van Gogh in Meemu Atoll is a boat-access site featuring a diverse topography of reef, wall, drop-off, and cave systems. Divers typically explore between 10 and 30 metres, with an average depth of 15 metres. The site is suited for intermediate divers comfortable with moderate currents and overhead environments. Navigation requires care, particularly within the cave sections where visibility can vary. The wall drops away quickly, necessitating strict buoyancy and gas management to avoid excessive depth. The reef and cave structures provide habitat for various reef fish and invertebrates. Divers should remain clear of the wall to avoid contact with sharp coral and rock formations.

Monitor your depth carefully around the drop-off, as the wall pulls you deeper quickly and nitrogen narcosis becomes a real factor below 25 metres. Go with a guide who knows the cave sections well, as visibility variations can make navigation inside less straightforward than it looks on entry.
