Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Kuda Kandu offers some of North Malé Atoll's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Kuda Kandu gives you a proper Maldives channel dive experience. We often see grey reef sharks patrolling the channel mouth, along with eagle rays gliding by in the current. It's a drift dive, so you'll often cover a lot of ground, perfect for divers who are comfortable with some flow and want to spot bigger pelagics.
