Hulangu Kandu is a channel dive on the outer-reef corner just north of Hilton Maldives Amingiri, with changing reef structures and a deep-water profile that comes alive on incoming current. When the tide lines up, it turns into a classic shark dive with grey reef sharks and white tips circling the channel, and it is usually reached by a short boat ride from the resort dive center.
