About Kondey Kandu
Kondey Kandu is an advanced boat-only channel dive in northern Huvadhoo where entries are planned around the tide and the dive follows the flow through the cut. Divers come here for blue-water drift action, steep channel edges, and a realistic chance of seeing reef sharks, rays, turtles, and other passing pelagics when the current is moving.
