Anantara Dhigu doesn't have any Snorkeling spots at proximity.

The resorthas a huge lagoon and thus no close-by house reef ( this is usually the case for Islands having very wide lagoon as such).

But if you prefer not to swim, an excursion is organised to bring you to a further spot, located outside the reef at a close range. Please check at the below map for a better look and understanding of the area.

The variety of Diving spots is also well worth mentioning with the easy access to many great sites from both North and South Male Atolls.
