Middle Point is a premier dive destination in South Male Atoll, Kaafu Atoll, offering exceptional underwater exploration in the Indian Ocean. Located in the Maldives, this site features dramatic coral-covered pinnacles and steep drop-offs that create a dynamic diving environment.

Divers encounter vibrant coral formations, including branching corals and coral gardens teeming with tropical fish species. The site attracts larger marine life, including reef sharks, rays, and schools of jacks and trevally. Smaller creatures such as nudibranchs, moray eels, and groupers are commonly spotted among the reef structure.
