Snorkelling

House Reef

4.8•1–2 hrs

A fringing house reef wraps much of Innamaadhoo, offering snorkelling straight from the beach on calm days. Island coastal data records reef fish in surrounding waters. Expect colourful reef fish in the shallows; rays and turtles are sometimes seen in Raa Atoll. Deeper diving is typically arranged through operators on nearby islands or resorts, while the house reef suits casual snorkelling. Protect the reef: do not stand on or collect coral.
