Kuda Badhi Caves
Maldives reef-cave dive with overhangs and fish.
Boat-access isolated reef with east-side overhangs, an upcurrent start, and a DSMB finish.
About Kuda Badhi Caves
Boat-access Maldives reef dive on a standalone reef with easy east-side overhangs, an upcurrent start, and a DSMB finish. The route mixes sheltered cut-throughs with open-reef sections, so the dive feels current-aware rather than technical, and the current-aware start plus pickup are the key planning points. Expect fusiliers, anemonefish, morays, eagle rays, and smaller macro life.
