    Meyyafushi Kandu in Baa Atoll is a relaxed drift dive, a good spot if you’re getting comfortable with the current. We’ve found it’s a pleasant ride along the reef edge, usually with a steady, gentle push. Keep your eyes peeled for whitetip reef sharks resting on the sandy bottom and the occasional eagle ray gliding past in the blue. It’s a pretty straightforward profile, never exceeding 26 meters, making it a solid choice for newer divers looking for that classic Maldivian kandu experience without anything too demanding.
