Devana Kandu

Devana Kandu is a protected Vaavu channel dive south of Alimatha, where a long central reef splits the pass into two routes and turns the site into a fast current-driven drift. The main line follows reef edges, overhangs, caves, and the outer wall, with the strongest action usually around the channel mouth when clear incoming water pushes across the drop-off. The site is primarily an advanced scuba dive rather than a casual water-access stop. Divers plan it around tide, current direction, guide judgment, and boat support, using the reef structure for positioning while watching grey reef sharks, whitetip reef sharks, eagle rays, barracuda, tuna, Napoleon wrasse, snappers, and other passing pelagics in the blue.
