We've put together a list of the best shipwreck diving destinations in the Maldives.
The Victory wreck
The Victory Wreck is an 80-meter/262-foot cargo ship that sank in the Maldives' North Malé Atoll in 1981. It drowned while en route from Singapore with supplies for the islands' resorts. Divers usually begin and end their dive set at the mainmast. Divers can glance down and take in the complete view of the wreck on their way back.

Kudhimaa Wreck
The Kudhimaa Wreck is a medium-sized steel wreck off the coast of Machafushi. The wreck was intentionally sunk to provide a wreck for divers visiting the South Ari Atoll. There are schools of bat fish, puffer fish, and the usual huge lionfish on and around it. It's brimming with photographic opportunities.
