Guraidhoo Kandu

Guraidhoo is South Malé's textbook kandu dive and a protected area for good reason. On a pushing tide, divers hook into the outer corners and watch gray reef sharks hold effortless station in the flow while eagle rays and the odd Napoleon wrasse slide past. Release the hook and the channel does the rest, funneling you over a saddle of coral heads toward the lagoon as snapper and fusiliers stream alongside. Surge and speed vary with the moon; the briefing matters, and so does staying with the group in mid-channel blue.

वह पल जिसके लिए आप आते हैं: Hooked-in shark watching; a fast, clean drift into the lagoon

टोपोग्राफी: Channel walls and a coral-strewn saddle between two islands, dropping to the open sea

करंट: A working channel: incoming tides give clear water and shark action, outgoing tides get green and are usually avoided.

खतरे: Strong tidal current, mid-channel blue-water sections, and boat pickups in open water.

संरक्षण: Protected marine area; fishing is banned in the channel.

Nitrox: यहाँ इसका फ़ायदा है — प्रोफ़ाइल उस रेंज में हैं जहाँ enriched air no-stop समय को सार्थक रूप से बढ़ाता है (इसके उपयोग के प्रशिक्षण के साथ)।
