FAADHOO KANDU is a drift dive where divers can encounter blue sharks, sea turtles and spinner dolphins. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest March, April, May.
Faadhoo Kandu in Baa Atoll offers a straightforward drift dive to 25m. We found it a good spot for newer divers getting comfortable with currents, as it’s generally a gentle ride. Expect to see some reef fish along the channel edge and perhaps a few rays cruising by if you hit the right timing. It’s a solid option for an easy afternoon dive.
