Bandos Rock

Bandos Rock is a renowned dive site situated on the house reef of Bandos Island Resort in the beautiful country of Maldives. Offering a stunning underwater experience, this site boasts a top reef starting at 3 to 5 meters, which then descends steeply to a sandy bottom at depths of 30 meters and beyond. Divers will be captivated by the numerous caves and intriguing overhangs on the wall, providing an enchanting backdrop for exploration.

The main attractions of Bandos Rock are the magnificent table corals, the pinnacle forming a picturesque canyon for divers to navigate, and the abundant marine life. This site is perfect for drift diving, suitable for divers of all levels. Encounter the awe-inspiring black and white tip reef sharks, tunas, and on occasion, even eagle rays. Delve into the caves and overhangs to discover hidden treasures like lobsters, cleaner shrimps, lionfish, and moray eels.

At Bandos Rock, divers will also have the opportunity to encounter banner fish, batfish, and hunting jackfish around the colorful pinnacle. With a maximum depth of 30+ meters and visibility reaching up to 21 meters, this dive site caters to divers of various skill levels – beginners, advanced, and experts alike. However, inexperienced divers must exercise caution when exploring near the overhangs during strong currents, as there may be mild washing machine effects. In order to avoid this, it is advisable to maintain a safe distance of approximately 2 meters from the reef.
