Fushi Kandu is a channel and reef diving area in Laamu Atoll, served entirely by boat access. The channel itself drops to forty metres and is defined by strong tidal currents, placing most sites firmly in the intermediate-to-advanced bracket. The five sites include Stingray City, Shark Point, Maabaidhoo Kandu, and Thulusdhoo Beru, offering a range of wall, drop-off, pinnacle, and reef topography. Silvertip sharks, whitetip reef sharks, whale sharks, whiptail stingrays, and green sea turtles are among the species recorded here. Night diving is supported at several sites.
