This dive site, Kurali Corner, is situated on the northwestern tip of the small Kurali Island in the southwestern part of Meemu Atoll. The reef gently slopes, with the primary dive experience focusing on the vibrant shallower sections, though the reef extends beyond 30 meters. Divers will explore a lively coral landscape along the island's corner, encountering diverse marine life without specific historical or navigational complexities mentioned.
The healthy reef top is adorned with beautiful soft and hard corals, providing a rich habitat for various species. Expect to see impressive big stingrays, several species of turtles, and schools of shoaling fish. When an incoming current is present, the site becomes particularly exciting as it attracts grey reef sharks, adding a thrilling element to the dive.
While specific seasonal highlights are not provided, the best time to visit Kurali Corner for shark encounters is during periods of incoming current. Divers should be prepared for potentially variable currents, which can range from mild to strong. The site's average depth of 10 meters and maximum analyzed depth of 20 meters make it highly suitable for intermediate scuba divers, as well as freedivers and snorkelers who can enjoy the rich marine life and corals of the shallower reef top.
