Maldives Victory (Wreck Site)
Protected & Documented
The Maldives Victory wreck lies southwest of Hulhulé and is a protected dive site. The cargo ship sank in 1981 after hitting a reef and now rests upright between 12 to 35 meters depth. The 4.75-hectare site features well-preserved sections of the vessel colonized by hard and soft corals. Marine life includes groupers, batfish, and nudibranchs. The wreck is popular with advanced divers due to strong currents and limited visibility. The proximity to Malé makes it one of the most frequently visited wrecks in the Maldives.
