This dive site, Thakandhoo Corner, is situated on the south reef of Takandhoo Island in the Maldives. The dive typically begins in the shallow waters of the top reef, gradually descending along a gentle slope to explore small caves and openings. The dive concludes at the reef's corner, where divers can admire interesting rock formations, which are found at depths ranging between 18 and 30 meters, though the officially stated maximum depth for the site is 19 meters.
The marine life here is vibrant and diverse, featuring an abundance of reef fish such as snappers, groupers, fusiliers, and striking blue triggerfish. Divers can also frequently encounter stingrays. Out in the blue, there is a chance to spot larger pelagic species like eagle rays and tuna, adding to the excitement of the dive.
While specific seasonal highlights are not mentioned, the Maldives generally offers excellent diving conditions year-round. This site is particularly suitable for freedivers due to its manageable depths, with an average of 9 meters and a maximum of 19 meters. Divers should be mindful of potential moderate currents at the corner, which contribute to the rich pelagic sightings.
