Best for intermediate divers, 8-10m, boat entry, moderate current.
Varihuraa Kann is a shallow reef drift dive in Baa Atoll, Maldives, with an average depth of 9 metres. The site features hard coral structures and is suitable for both divers and snorkellers. Divers should expect moderate currents, which can strengthen quickly, requiring careful monitoring of position relative to the reef. Visibility typically ranges from 15 to 30 metres. Access is by boat only, and the area experiences active boat traffic, necessitating a clear pick-up plan with the surface support vessel. Divers should remain aware of sharp coral and exposed rocks, particularly when surge is present.

Time your dive around the incoming current rather than fighting an outgoing one, as it tends to push you along the more productive sections of reef where the jackfish and barracuda congregate. Brief your boat crew on your exit point before you descend, since current direction can shift and boat traffic in this area requires a clear pick-up plan.
