Best for advanced divers, 5-23m, boat entry, strong current.
Maduvvari Dhekunu Kann is a drift dive in the Baa Atoll, characterised by a vertical wall that descends to 23 metres. The site is defined by strong currents that require advanced diving skills and careful management of drift techniques. Divers typically experience depths between 5 and 23 metres with visibility averaging 16 metres. Access is exclusively by boat, and divers must be prepared for rapid movement along the drop-off. Due to the potential for strong currents to carry divers away from the reef, the use of a surface marker buoy is essential. The wall features sharp coral and rock edges, necessitating careful buoyancy control throughout the 50-minute dive.
