    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Kudarah, in South Malé Atoll, offers a relaxed dive focused on coral observation. We’ve found decent patches of larger star coral, wrinkle coral, and galaxea, with some lesser star corals dotted around. It’s not a site for big pelagics or strong currents, rather a gentle drift for divers who enjoy taking their time over the reef. A good choice for a second dive or those easing into their trip.
