Best for intermediate divers, 4-30m, boat entry, moderate current.
Kooddoo Kndu in the Gaafu Alifu Atoll offers a diverse underwater landscape featuring a reef wall, drift sections, and a pinnacle. Divers can explore depths ranging from 4 to 30 metres, with visibility typically between 15 and 30 metres. The site is suited for intermediate divers due to moderate currents that can accelerate, requiring careful buoyancy control near the wall and pinnacle to avoid sharp coral and surge. Boat access is required for all dives, and guided tours are recommended to navigate the drift entry points effectively. Night diving is available, providing a different perspective of the reef structure. Typical dive times are approximately 50 minutes.

Time your dive around the current direction rather than just the tidal window, as the drift along the wall is most productive when the flow is running from the channel into the atoll. Book a guided tour for your first visit since the pinnacle positioning and the best drift entry points are not obvious from the surface.
