Kimud Shoal

Kimud is Monad's wilder sibling, another drowned islet nearby whose claim on divers is seasonal and less certain, which makes the payoffs land harder. From roughly December to April, schools of scalloped hammerheads pass the shoal in open water, and dives become disciplined blue hangs off the rim, eyes sweeping until shapes assemble out of the haze, sometimes a handful, sometimes a wall of sharks. Off-season and off-mornings, Kimud serves as an alternate thresher venue and a deep, quiet reef. Bring patience and air discipline; the blue gives up its residents on its own schedule.

Khoảnh khắc bạn đến vì nó: Schooling scalloped hammerheads in season, backup thresher encounters, committed blue-water diving

Địa hình: Sunken islet crowned in coral rubble, walls into deep blue

Dòng chảy: Open-water shoal; expect movement on the rim and plan the blue-water hang with the guide.

Nguy hiểm cần lưu ý: Blue-water disorientation, depth creep while following schools, and current on the rim.

Bảo tồn: Shark fees support local protection; keep the group tight and the chasing impulse leashed.

Nitrox: Đáng dùng ở đây — các hồ sơ nằm trong khoảng độ sâu mà nitrox có thể kéo dài thời gian không dừng một cách thực sự có ý nghĩa (khi đã được đào tạo sử dụng).
