About Lhosfushi Kuda Kandu
Lhosfushi Kuda Kandu is a small channel north of Guraidhoo Channel with a sandy floor, coral patches, and regular reef-fish traffic. Divers come for the shark-and-turtle mix, the chance of manta rays, and the way the channel moves when the tide is running. It is a boat dive with variable current, so timing and team control matter more than trying to rush the crossing.
