About Koroshigiri Canyon
Koroshigiri Canyon is a Maldives boat dive with a shallow top reef, a wall cut by overhangs, and a small upstream thila that gives the site a strong canyon-and-wall feel. It is the kind of dive that rewards calm buoyancy, good depth awareness, and a relaxed pace, with a big marine-life payoff that can include shrimp, abundant reef fish, napoleon wrasse, grey reef sharks, dolphins, and manta rays. The overall feel is controlled exploration rather than a drift-heavy channel dive.

Local Intel For Koroshigiri Canyon
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Good for controlled reef exploration and deeper wall work when you have the right training and gas plan.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site because the wall and thila call for scuba control.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is secondary; the value is below the surface on the reef wall and thila.
