About this spot

Entrance 128 sits in Kaafu Atoll near Eriyadhoo island and welcomes divers throughout the year. The site has generated interest from the dive community, with 12 recorded species observations and 3 community videos available for research. This accessibility of documented dives makes it useful for planning. The spot is not within a marine protected area, giving it standard Maldives access rules. Like many atoll sites, Entrance 128 warrants attention to coral bleaching status, which is currently flagged for monitoring. Divers should check current conditions before booking, as bleaching events can shift over seasons. Kaafu Atoll remains one of the Maldives' most accessible atolls from Male, with consistent dive infrastructure. Entrance 128 offers an alternative to heavily trafficked house reef sites. The community video collection provides real-world reference material for what to expect on arrival. Plan visits during your preferred season—this site is operational year-round. Bring a guide familiar with local mooring protocols and current patterns typical of Kaafu's deeper passes.

  • 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.
