About Kudiboli South
Kudiboli South is a long reef with a current-shaped run and a forgiving shallow start. Divers usually work the slope in the direction that matches the water, with the profile dropping steadily to a sandy bottom. That makes it a practical boat dive for certified divers who are comfortable adjusting the route to conditions. The site suits people who prefer a moving-water reef rather than a static, flat coral garden.
