Kandooma Thila

Kandooma Thila is South Malé's blue-water grandstand. The teardrop-shaped pinnacle lies in a channel mouth, and on an incoming tide its up-current point turns into a theater: gray reef sharks stacked in the flow, eagle rays flapping past in formation, tuna and trevally cutting through bait clouds. The reef itself is in fine shape, with sea fans and soft coral under the ledges and turtles resting out of the current. It is a protected site, a demanding one, and on the right tide one of the country's great dives.

वह पल जिसके लिए आप आते हैं: Shark and eagle-ray action at the up-current point; healthy ledges and fans

टोपोग्राफी: Elongated pinnacle with overhangs and coral-covered ledges falling to a sandy channel floor

करंट: An exposed channel-mouth thila; expect a negative entry and a hooked-in stretch when the tide runs.

खतरे: Strong current with possible down-currents on the corners; blue-water descents.

संरक्षण: Protected marine area; hook only into bare rock and give the shark line right of way.

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)।
