Meyyafushi Kandu is a channel crossing for experienced divers. The route starts from one corner of the channel and moves through a steady drift where the current does the heavy lifting. The draw is the flow itself and the fish it concentrates: jacks, trevallies, tuna, sharks, rays, and the occasional manta. It suits divers who are comfortable timing the entry, holding trim in moving water, and keeping the dive focused on the crossing rather than reef scenery.
