overview, location                                     

Depth:  5 -30 m

Fish Live: big schools of dark snappers and fusiliers at corner; with ingoing current whitetip and grey reef sharks possible, as well as eagle rays and big tunas

Coral Growth: nice corals only in the upper part and at the corners

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)

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

Photography: macro lenses recommended for the leaf fish
