Dive 6 – Vilivaru Giri – South Male

This Giri is about 50 m around the top (more underneath obviously) and is current swept on one side and sheltered on the other. It provides opportunities to see numerous fish and a couple of nice swim throughs. So this blog entry is full of photographs and not much else.

This is a great dive spot with dive times of over an hour quite easy to achieve.
