Perfect for you if

Snorkelling is the reason you are going
You want to walk in from the beach and reach the reef straight away
You are after an island that is still local and off the tourist track
You want a chance to swim with whale sharks
You want a small village where they know you after two days

You want to walk in from the beach and reach the reef straight away
You want proper dives, with currents and pelagics
You want a chance to swim with whale sharks
You want a choice of places to eat

It may not suit you if

Diving is the whole point of the trip
It is your first time in the Maldives and you want a safe bet

You are looking for quiet and a slow pace
You are travelling as a couple and looking for privacy
