    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Kadooma Caves offers a series of swim-throughs and overhangs, creating a playground for divers who enjoy exploring confined spaces. Sunlight filters through cracks, illuminating the interior where we've often spotted sleeping nurse sharks and stingrays tucked into sandy pockets. It’s a site that rewards careful buoyancy and a good torch, perfect for photographers and those looking for a different kind of Maldivian dive.

    Safety Notes
