    Kuda Badhi Caves is a gentle introduction to the Maldives' underwater topography. We found the caves themselves more like large overhangs and swim-throughs, accessible and comfortable for newer divers. Inside, you’ll likely spot the resident Humpnose Bigeye Bream and maybe a Humpback Snapper lurking in the shadows. Keep an eye out on the reef top for Titan and Yellowmargin Triggerfish, often busy defending their territories. It’s a good, easy dive, perfect for a relaxed afternoon.
