Maamendhoo Giri is a reef (giri) dive in Laamu (Hadhdhunmathi) Atoll, named for the inhabited island of Maamendhoo. It is known for extensive table-coral formations and colourful schools of parrotfish, with turtles and abundant reef fish over the shallow coral structure. As a giri it is generally a gentler reef dive accessible to a range of skill levels.
