Boat-access caves and overhangs with strong marine life.
Boat site past the sandbank with two swim-through caves and overhangs; advanced divers can work the full profile while shallower sections suit guided exploration.
About Kuramathi Caves
Kuramathi Caves is a boat-access cavern site on the western side of the atoll, reached after a short ride past the sandbank. The dive works along broad overhangs, a shallow reef top, and two swim-through caves, so buoyancy control and calm-day planning matter. Advanced divers can work the full profile, while shallower sections suit guided exploration and conservative turnaround discipline.
