    The Kandolhu House Reef is a lovely spot, particularly if you’re staying right there. It’s an easy, shallow dive, dropping to about 18 meters, making it ideal for beginners or those looking for a relaxed afternoon dip. We’ve had some pleasant encounters with reef sharks cruising through, and the anemones are always hosting busy clownfish families. It’s a solid choice for a laid-back dive without any strong currents to worry about.
