Reef
Usually dived by boat as an outside-reef cruise; conditions are often manageable but current can build toward the Maa Kandu side, so timing and guide briefings matter.
About Bushy Outside
Bushy Outside is an ocean-facing reef on Addu's northern side, tucked behind the small Bushy islet and known for notably dense hard-coral growth. It is usually dived as a guided outside-reef cruise with the chance of mantas, turtles, barracuda, tunas, rays, and other larger reef fish when conditions line up near the nearby channel edge.
