Meemu Atoll located to the south of Male the capital, is 47 kilometres in length and 30 kilometres in width.
There are about 35 islands in the Meemu Atoll. Most of the islands of the atoll are on the eastern rim with just a few on the
rest of the atoll rim and surprisingly none inside the atoll. A population of about 5,000 inhabits just nine of the
islands. Distinctively all the inhabited islands are on the eastern side.
Underwater
Meemu Atoll has been newly opened up for
tourism and hence also for diving. Two new resorts are planned to open during the course of 1999. Once the resorts
open, divers would get the unique opportunity to plunge into waters where no diver has ever been and explore dive
sites totally untouched. Along the northern fringing reef are five channels, the best of which is the westernmost
one, known as Mulaku Kandu. The underwater topography of these are quite similar to the narrow spectacular channels
of Vaavu Atoll. Mulaku Kandu has the unusual feature of a large submerged pinnacle rising from very deep water in
the centre of the channel - Meemu Atoll. The pinnacle is covered with beautiful soft corals and surrounded by a myriad of marine
life. The channels on the western rim of the atoll will also make fantastic dive sites. As they are exposed, the
best diving in these would be during the southwest monsoon.
other information
Meemu Atoll has traditionally been, and still is a popular
port of call for vessels plying between the southern atolls and the capital. Boats stopover for the night often at
the capital island Muli. The main occupation in the atoll is fishing. Dhiggaru, probably the best known for fishing
is also the most densely populated. Agriculture is carried out on a small scale on some islands. Kolhuvaareyaafushi,
at the southern tip and Mulah are known for growing yams. A sword believed to have been used by Sultan Mohamed
Thakurufaanu was deposited in the mosque at Kolhuvaareyaafushi. The sword measured 24 inches by one and a half inches - Meemu Atoll.
