Best for intermediate divers, Up to 30m, boat entry, strong current.
Toshi Caves in Baa Atoll is a drift dive site defined by a reef system featuring numerous cave formations. Divers navigate depths ranging from the shallows to 30 metres, with an average depth of 19 metres. Visibility typically fluctuates between 10 and 30 metres. Due to strong currents, this site is suited for intermediate divers and requires boat access. Divers must manage buoyancy carefully and avoid contact with cave surfaces, as stonefish and scorpionfish are present and well camouflaged against the rock. Always consult your dive operator regarding tidal schedules and current conditions before entry.

Time your entry with the current rather than fighting it - check the tidal schedule with your dive operator before heading out, as the strength of the drift here varies considerably with the tide. Inside the caves, slow down and scan the rock surfaces carefully, since the stonefish and scorpionfish blend almost perfectly into the substrate.
