Torch-friendly channel dive on Kudey Kandu.
Toshi Caves is a rounded channel dive on Kudey Kandu with a steep reef profile, multiple caves, and a torch-friendly interior that rewards slow exploration. Despite the strong current, it is usually treated as an easy channel-style dive for experienced divers, with the appeal lying in the caves, macro life, and the chance to spot turtles and schooling reef fish. It is best treated as a committed drift rather than a casual sightseeing pass.
