This dive site, Maduvvari Dhekunu Kann, is celebrated as one of the best in the Maldives, strategically located on a channel corner west of Le Meridien Maldives. It offers an exhilarating experience, often involving drift diving due to the strong currents, which are a defining characteristic of this site. While no specific history or navigation challenges beyond the currents are mentioned, divers can expect a dynamic underwater environment.
The site is teeming with marine life, boasting massive numbers of fusiliers and snappers that create vibrant schooling displays. Pelagic species are a major draw, with schooling sharks, napoleon wrasse, and various other large pelagic fish regularly sighted, making every dive a spectacular encounter.
Maduvvari Dhekunu Kann is best visited during periods suitable for strong current diving in the Maldives, which often means good conditions year-round for pelagic sightings. It is recommended for experienced divers comfortable with deep dives in challenging conditions, ensuring they can fully appreciate the rich biodiversity and thrilling drift experiences.
