Although there are only 3 inhabited islands in this atoll they have been inhabited for a long time. The islands are small (600 to 700 people) with fishing being the main activity. As with most of the Maldives, South Male Atoll is a wonderful location for diving. There are plenty of qualified instructors ready to take you out and show you the best sites whether you're diving or snorkeling.
As well as good diving you will find good restaurants in the hotels serving high quality international cuisine and fine tropical cocktails. Of course you'll also find some gorgeous white sandy beaches to relax on after a day of watersports and activities.
