Best for intermediate divers, shore entry, moderate current.
Kooddoo Kandu is a drift dive located in the Deep South of the Maldives. This channel site features moderate currents that require intermediate skill and solid buoyancy control. Divers enter from the shore to navigate the reef structure, where visibility typically ranges between 20 and 30 metres. Water temperatures remain consistent throughout the year, averaging between 29C and 30C. Due to the nature of the channel, currents can intensify quickly depending on the tidal state. Divers should confirm current direction and strength with local operators before entry and maintain distance from the reef to avoid contact with sharp coral and rocks.
