Best for intermediate divers, 20-40m, boat entry, moderate current.
Dhiffushi Kandu is a channel dive in the Meemu Atoll, characterised by drift diving through moderate currents. The site features a reef structure that acts as a passage for water movement, with depths ranging from 20 to 40 metres. Divers access the site by boat, with visibility typically between 10 and 30 metres. Due to the depth and potential for intensifying currents, this site is suited for intermediate divers. Night diving is available, offering a different perspective of the reef. Divers should monitor their depth and bottom time closely, remaining near their guide and using the reef for shelter when necessary.

Time your dive to coincide with an incoming current, as this pushes cleaner water through the channel and tends to concentrate marine activity around the reef edges. The on-site dive shop can advise on the day's tidal window, which makes a real difference to what you encounter.
