Best for advanced divers, 10-26m, boat entry, strong current.
Viligili Corner is a boat-access drift dive in the North Male Atoll, defined by strong currents that channel around the reef structure. Divers typically explore depths between 10 and 26 metres, with visibility ranging from 15 to 25 metres. The site requires advanced skills to manage the flow and maintain position without contact with the reef. Due to the strength of the current, boat cover is essential, and surface marker buoys should be prepared before descent. The topography creates specific ambush zones where marine life congregates, making it a rewarding location for experienced divers comfortable with moving water.
