Biledhdhoo Kandu offers a pretty standard Maldivian channel drift, a good option when you’re looking for a smooth ride. We’ve found the currents here tend to be consistent, pulling you gently through the channel, so it's a solid intermediate dive. Keep an eye out for grey reef sharks cruising along the drop-off and the occasional eagle ray gliding past. It's not the most dramatic site in South Ari, but it’s a reliable spot for some easy drift diving, especially if you want to cover ground without too much effort.
