About Kinolhas Kandu

A drift dive along the north side of the reef, riding the current from the western tip toward a small thila. The top of the reef holds dense fish life, while deeper sections feature attractive small overhangs. More experienced divers continue on to the thila, while beginners can stay around the overhangs and make a gradual ascent over a sandy slope.
