Best for intermediate divers, 5-30m, boat entry, moderate current.
Turtle Point in Addu Atoll offers a wall and drift diving experience for intermediate divers. The reef structure drops from 5 metres to 30 metres, with visibility typically ranging between 20 and 25 metres. Divers encounter moderate currents that can strengthen quickly, necessitating strong buoyancy control and the use of a surface marker buoy. Access is by boat only, as the site is located in open water. The environment supports a variety of reef fish and invertebrates typical of the region. Due to the potential for changing currents and drift, divers must remain aware of their position relative to the reef and the support vessel throughout the dive.

Time your entry to hit the wall during an incoming current, which tends to push marine life up along the reef face and into clearer water. Always carry a surface marker buoy on this site as you can end up drifting some distance from the boat in stronger conditions.
