About Hembadhu
Hembadhu is famed for its proximity to the “Maldive Victory” wreck, a renowned dive site rich in marine life. Its fringing reef teems with fusiliers, eagle rays, and reef sharks. Palm-lined beaches shelter seabirds, while clear lagoons offer safe snorkeling. Historically, its location made it a navigation landmark for fishermen. The island’s reefs benefit from nutrient-rich currents, supporting healthy coral cover. Divers are drawn to its mix of wreck dives and natural reef walls. Limited development has preserved much of Hembadhu’s original vegetation and coastal integrity, making it both a scenic and ecologically valuable destination.
