The MV Maldive Victory wreck is a fascinating dive site that offers a rare chance to explore a sunken piece of maritime history. Once a 15,000-ton cargo ship, it sank in 1981 after striking a reef near Malé. Today, it stands upright at 36 meters deep, transformed into a thriving artificial reef. Eighteen different coral species have colonized the wreck, attracting 38 fish species, making it an underwater paradise for divers. The wreck has been a popular diving destination since the late 1990s, with divers exploring its well-preserved structure without disturbing the marine life. The site is now protected as a national heritage and remains a vital part of the Maldives’ dive tourism. On February 12th-14th, Dive Club Maldives celebrates MV Maldive Victory Wreck Day, inviting divers from around the world to experience the wreck and its fascinating history.
