Hide and Seek in the North & Central Atolls features a diverse topography of reef walls, hard and soft coral formations, and a cave system. Divers can explore depths ranging from 5 to 30 metres, with an average depth of 15 metres. Access is strictly by boat. Conditions include moderate currents that can strengthen with little warning, requiring solid buoyancy control and constant monitoring of your position against the reef. Visibility typically ranges between 15 and 30 metres. Due to the presence of a cave and potential for strong currents, this site is best suited for intermediate divers comfortable in overhead environments.

Position yourself on the upcurrent side of the cave entrance before descending so the water pushes you toward it rather than past it. Keeping close to the reef wall also gives you natural shelter if the current picks up mid-dive.
Access is provided via liveaboard vessels departing from the Maldives.
