About Madivaru
Madivaru, meaning “ray island,” is a pristine isle with beaches used for green turtle nesting. Shallow coral gardens shelter anemonefish, butterflyfish, and juvenile reef species. Deep channels nearby draw tuna, reef sharks, and seasonal manta rays. Historically a fishing base, it remains lightly developed, preserving native vegetation. Divers enjoy a variety of conditions, from calm lagoon dives to current-rich reef edges. The surrounding reef’s health benefits from strong tidal flushing, which supports vibrant coral growth. Madivaru’s blend of calm shallows and pelagic encounters makes it an appealing destination for eco-tourists and experienced divers alike.
