I was there two weeks ago on the Manthiri (just posted my trip report) and essentailly saw no bleaching. There were isolated corals here or there, but not on every site or anything like that. Nothing widespread that we saw.

We were there in May 2015 and again in May 2016. The liveaboard routes were slightly different , but while there is bleaching, the corals we saw in 2016 were probably better than in 2016. The main draw in the Maldives is the very very prolific fish life , which was not affected at all. It's wonderful for many sharks , loads of mantas and in the correct area , whalesharks. We are going back on 2017.
