Reef-covered wreck in South Male Atoll with glass fish and macro life.
Kuda Giri Wreck is a well-preserved reef-covered wreck in South Male Atoll, reached by a short swim from a nearby reef. The site is a relaxed wreck-and-reef combination with soft and hard corals, glass fish in the interior, and enough macro life to keep the dive interesting from start to finish. It is best treated as an intermediate wreck dive with good structure, clear layering of reef and hull, and a controlled look into the wreck rather than an aggressive penetration dive.
