Best for intermediate divers, 8-30m, boat entry, moderate current.
Kuda Kandu Corner in Addu Atoll features a reef wall that drops to 30 metres, creating a corner geography that funnels currents. This drift dive is suited for intermediate divers who can manage moderate currents and buoyancy. Divers typically spend 50 minutes exploring the wall, which offers visibility between 15 and 30 metres. Because currents can accelerate sharply around the corner, divers should confirm pickup arrangements with their boat crew before descending. Due to boat traffic in the area, carrying a surface marker buoy is essential. The site reaches depths of 30 metres, requiring careful depth management.

Position yourself on the upcurrent side of the corner before the drift picks up, as this gives you the longest time in the productive zone where the wall bends. Confirm boat pickup arrangements clearly before descending, since current can move you further than expected.
