    Kudadhoo Corner is a drift dive in South Ari Atoll, known for pelagic encounters. We often see grey reef sharks patrolling the reef edge and sometimes a passing manta ray or whale shark further out in the blue. The current can be significant here, making it best suited for experienced divers comfortable with a faster pace. It's a solid choice for those looking for big animal action.
