Fushi Kandu - Maldives Dive Site

Fushi Kandu - Dive Site Maldives

Diving Hints and Currents:

This is a spectacular Maldives dive site spanning a one kilometer wide channel containing five separate thilas. The thilas are mainly very narrow and long, initiating from a sandy bottom of around 20m - 25m. Once inside the main channel, the depth drops to over 30 meters, with the outside ledge decreasing steeply from 30 meters.

These thilas attract many schools of fish, along with moray eels, eagle rays and even sharks. The main location to spot sharks would be along the outside drop off, whereas returning to the thilas for a leisurely dive across the entire channel would bring you face to face with sting rays and possibly nurse sharks, dwelling in the sandy channels.

This dive location is a strong favorite of scuba divers visiting the Maldives on holiday, do not miss out on this spectacular dive route; it is an aquatic experience not soon forgotten.
