About Kudhimaa Wreck
Kudhimaa Wreck is a deliberately sunk cargo ship in South Ari Atoll that now sits on sand as an artificial reef. The hull and cargo holds are covered in coral and sponges, and the wreck attracts batfish, lionfish, moray eels, nurse sharks, and other wreck-loving species. It is a deep boat wreck with overhead spaces and current that can build, so it suits divers who are comfortable with careful wreck planning and controlled buoyancy.
