Best for advanced divers, 3-30m, boat entry, strong current.
Koroshigiri Canyon in the Baa Atoll is a dynamic reef and wall system defined by its deep canyon topography. The site requires boat access and is suited for advanced divers due to strong, variable currents that funnel through the structure. Divers can explore depths between 3 and 30 metres with visibility consistently around 16 metres. The canyon features various cracks and ledges along the walls. Night diving is permitted, offering a different perspective of the canyon's character. Divers should monitor their depth closely and maintain distance from the reef and rock surfaces to avoid injury from sharp coral.

Plan your dive around the current cycle rather than a fixed time of day, as the canyon's flow determines whether you're working the walls productively or just hanging on. Confirm current direction and timing with your boat crew before descending, since conditions vary significantly between dives on the same day.
