Channel and wall dive on the isolated Vattaru Reef at the southern end of Vaavu (Felidhe) Atoll. Average depth about 20 m with a wall dropping well past 40 m and soft coral at depth. Generally moderate current (about 1 to 2 knots), gentler than the atoll's bigger channels, with whitetip reef sharks, Napoleon wrasse, eagle rays and good macro life. Best in the northeast monsoon (December to April).
