Meedhu Faru Kandoo is a South Male Atoll outside reef dive with channel-style flow, coral blocks, and a drop-off profile that rewards steady buoyancy and good situational awareness. It suits experienced divers who are comfortable planning around current and moving water, with white-tip reef sharks, eagle rays, Napoleon wrasse, turtles, bannerfish, and other reef life part of the expected mix.
