North-east monsoon season
mostly ingoing current, take reef to the right; shortly
before the entrance of the channel there is a school of
dark snappers; go along the channel edge, and watch out
for the sharks; it’s possible to see whitetip reef
sharks, as well as eagle rays; continue to dive into the
channel; with strong current you reach a nice coral
garden, which is the very back of this channel (between
2 – 7 m)

Safety:
descend immediately to reef, if strong ingoing current
occurs |

Experience
Level:
easy diving, also suitable for beginners
|
|
Features:
in the channel there is a sand bed between 5-7 m,
suitable for open water courses
|
|
Specialty:
at the corner of the channel is a coral block at about
17 m, since three years there are two leaf fish
stationary (pink and white); Madi means ray in divehi
|
|
South-west monsoon season:
mostly outgoing current, take reef to the left and start
on the sand bed; stay in the first 10 m in the
beginning, later drift along the lower reef slope, as
there you find nice corals; stop at the coral block at
the corner (17 m) to have a look at the leaf fish;
continue on the outer reef, sometimes there is a
counter-current
