South-reef corner dive on Takandhoo Island with a shallow top reef.
Thakandhoo Corner is a south-reef corner dive on Takandhoo Island with a shallow top reef, a slope into small caves and openings, and a rock-lined corner that rewards careful navigation. The site is known for reef life and can become more energetic when current builds, so buoyancy and depth awareness matter once the slope tightens.
