About this spot

Entrance 110 sits in the Kaafu Atoll near Eriyadhoo island, one of the Maldives' most accessible dive zones. The site offers year-round diving with stable conditions that make it a reliable choice for operators and independent divers. Local records show 12 documented species observations, indicating solid biodiversity for the spot's size and depth range. The site lies outside protected waters, giving it more flexible access policies than many neighboring reefs. Visibility and temperature data vary by season, so checking current conditions before booking is smart. Community members have uploaded 3 videos of the site, giving you a real sense of what to expect underwater. The coral here warrants monitoring—like most Maldivian reefs, it faces periodic bleaching stress. Despite this, Entrance 110 remains a working dive site with regular traffic, suggesting it retains enough health to attract divers. The Kaafu Atoll itself is the most developed tourism zone in the country, so logistics are straightforward. Getting to Entrance 110 typically involves a short speedboat ride from nearby resorts or the capital. The site works well as part of a multi-dive itinerary in the atoll. Divers report consistent encounters with reef fish and pelagics, though exact species and abundance shift seasonally.

What marine life will I see?

  • On a Cayman trip we saw an inland DM who apparently had never dove in a current. He didn't listen to the dive briefing and took a student down current. She had enough sense to turn back. Everyone had to be recalled so the boat could go pick him up

  • I would add ALWAYS have an dsmb with you in case you get separated from the flag bearer in your group or if a boat severs the line on your flag.

  • What is the lift capacity of this system? Is there a way to manually inflate/deflate the buoyancy control system in the event of an electronics failure or battery depletion?

  • At least the walk from your car to the water will be a little lighter. But that's about it, in my eyes. A new thing that does nothing new but requires another certificate from the other side of the planet. Then again, I never was a trailblazer, myself.

  • Perfect for divers that cannot figure out basic diving.
