Foteyo North Corner is a premier drift dive site located in Felidhu Atoll within Vaavu Atoll in the Maldives. Situated in the Indian Ocean, this site offers an exhilarating diving experience for intermediate to advanced divers.

The site features dramatic coral-covered walls and steep drop-offs that descend to depths of 30-40 meters. Divers can expect strong currents typical of atoll corners, making this an exciting drift dive opportunity. The vibrant coral formations support an abundance of marine life, including reef sharks, tuna, jacks, and groupers that patrol the walls.

Pelagic species such as rays and barracuda are commonly spotted, while smaller reef fish dart among the colorful coral gardens. The nutrient-rich waters attract larger marine visitors, particularly during strong current conditions.

Best suited for experienced divers comfortable with drift diving and strong currents, Foteyo North Corner delivers spectacular underwater scenery and the thrill of pelagic encounters. This is an ideal destination for adventurous divers seeking dynamic reef environments in the Maldives.
