About Akirifushi Kandu

Akirifushi Kandu is a current-shaped drift channel north of Akirifushi Island, where the route is chosen around the flow and can run from the outer reef into the channel or back out again. Coral-covered overhangs and open-water schooling life make it a good fit for experienced divers who want moving water rather than a fixed reef circuit.
