Position yourself on the reef edge early in the dive before the current builds, and let the drift carry you along the wall rather than fighting to hold station. A guided tour is strongly recommended here since current direction and strength can shift depending on the tide.
The site is located in Kaafu Atoll near Gulhi island and requires diving with a licensed operator.
