About this spot

Neregando reef sits in the Maldives and welcomes divers throughout the year. The reef shows no signs of coral stress, making it a solid choice for exploring living coral gardens and the species that depend on them. The site has drawn enough diver interest to generate a small collection of community videos and documented species observations. Twelve recorded species sightings give you a sense of what you might encounter below the surface—a mix typical of Maldivian reefs. Being outside a marine protected area, Neregando operates under standard Maldives diving guidelines. Plan your trip for whenever suits your schedule; conditions hold up year-round, which is the main advantage of diving these atolls.
