About Kudimaa (Wreck)
Kudimaa (Wreck) is a boat-access steel wreck in South Ari Atoll that was sunk in 1998 to create a purpose-built dive site. It sits close to the Machafushi house reef, so the approach is straightforward but the dive itself still rewards careful buoyancy and wreck awareness. The cargo holds, coral growth, and dense macro life make it a compact photographic site rather than a big-reef cruise. Experienced divers get the most from it, especially when current and visibility are good.

Key Hazards
Boat trafficOverhead environmentStrong current
Safety Notes
Advanced Open Water is a sensible minimum. Keep neutral buoyancy around the cargo holds, use a torch for the structure, and be ready to shorten the plan if current picks up.

Boat access only, and better suited to divers comfortable with a 30m wreck profile and some overhead awareness.
Legal Notes
Follow operator briefings and boat-departure rules; this is handled as a guided wreck dive, not an independent shore entry.
Local Intel For Kudimaa (Wreck)
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The wreck rewards a torch, steady trim, and a slow route through the holds rather than a long swim. Operators can keep the profile conservative or push deeper for experienced divers.
Freediving
Not a practical freedive target. The depth, boat logistics, and wreck structure make it a scuba-first site.
Snorkeling
Not a worthwhile snorkel target. The attraction is the wreck structure below the surface.
