About Maakandu Outside
Maakandu Outside is a relaxed outside-reef wall dive in Addu Atoll with a shallow coral-topped rim that eases into a broad slope and open blue water. The wall and corner hold healthy coral gardens and gorgonian growth, while the blue often brings reef sharks, rays, turtles, barracuda, tuna, triggerfish, and other reef life past the site. It suits divers who want an easy Maldives wall dive with clear structure and regular marine-life action.
