This dive site is located between Finolhu and Bolikey Falhu, south of Dhiggiri Kandu. The seabed generally ranges from 30 meters deep, with slightly deeper areas near the entrance and some caves at approximately 35 meters, though these caves offer limited visibility. The southern portion of the kandu area presents excellent photographic opportunities due to its diverse topography. Eagle rays are frequently observed traversing the channel. Within the interior walls of the reef system, numerous cavities provide habitats for lobsters and shrimp. Occasionally, hammerhead sharks can be spotted in the deeper blue waters, typically during periods of poor visibility and with strong currents. The area offers a mix of sandy patches and rocky formations.
