Lhohifushi Kandu
Strong-current channel dive in North Male Atoll.
Best for experienced divers who want shark-and-ray action, current timing, and a boat-based channel dive rather than a mellow reef.
About Lhohifushi Kandu
A classic current-driven channel dive in North Male Atoll where timing matters as much as depth. Lhohifushi Kandu combines steep channel terrain, strong marine life, and the kind of down-current and up-current action that rewards experienced divers who can stay composed and follow a planned line. The payoff is a big-fish site with sharks, rays, and the chance of dolphin schools when conditions line up.
