Boat dive with a shallow top reef, wall overhangs, and an upstream thila; best treated as a controlled reef exploration with big marine life.
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.
