Vilingili Kandu
Advanced outer channel dive with strong current and shark action.
A boat-led deep-south channel dive where conditions, current direction, and sea state matter as much as the marine life, especially when the drop-off starts filling with sharks.
About Vilingili Kandu
Vilingili Kandu is a long outer-atoll channel dive in the northeast of Huvadhoo where strong current, open blue water, and shark traffic shape the whole dive plan. It is best suited to experienced scuba divers who want a fast-moving channel profile with grey reef sharks, silvertips, and other larger pelagics using the edge and drop-off.
