It features a notable 'aquarium' section, along with intricate small canyons and large overhangs that create a diverse underwater topography. Navigation is generally straightforward along the reef structure, but divers must be aware of potential current changes.
The site is teeming with marine life, including schools of snappers, jacks, and fusiliers. Divers can frequently encounter sharks, turtles, napoleon fish, batfish, and majestic eagle rays. The reef itself is adorned with vibrant soft corals, with striking blue soft corals thriving in the overhangs and vivid yellow soft corals covering the rocks in the 'aquarium' section.
Muraidhoo Corner offers an excellent experience, especially during calm conditions when it becomes an easy dive. The 'aquarium' section and coral-filled overhangs are highlights. For freedivers and divers, monitoring current conditions is crucial, as strong currents can make the dive challenging. It is advisable to dive with experienced guides familiar with local current patterns to fully enjoy its rich biodiversity.
