Gulda Lamagu is an outstanding reef dive located in Hithadhoo, Seenu Atoll, in the southernmost region of the Maldives. This site features a dramatic coral-covered pinnacle that rises from depths of 40 meters, making it suitable for intermediate to advanced divers. The reef showcases vibrant hard and soft corals teeming with diverse marine life, including groupers, snappers, jacks, and trevally.
