Meeddhoo Outside is an outer reef wall located in Addu Atoll, Maldives. The site features a vertical profile ranging from 15 to 30 metres in depth. Divers experience moderate currents along the wall, which requires careful buoyancy control and the ability to read water movement. Visibility at this location typically spans 20 to 40 metres. Access is exclusively by boat, and the site is suited for intermediate divers. Due to the potential for currents to develop quickly, divers should confirm conditions with the boat crew before entry and remain close to the reef structure to manage the flow.
