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.

Scuba Diving

Good for controlled reef exploration and deeper wall work when you have the right training and gas plan.

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.
