About Rani Kan
Rani Kan is a boat-access channel-corner dive on the southwest side of Rihiveli island, where incoming and outgoing current can both be used to work the reef. The site is all about overhangs, shark passes, and big-channel energy, with grey reef sharks, eagle rays, tunas, and giant trevallies among the regular draws. It is a proper Maldives drift dive that rewards timing, buoyancy, and staying aware of the current line.
