Advice for diving Miyaru Kandu in Maldives

Miyaru Kandu is a fascinating channel dive - which is next to Alimatha Resort, another famous site. As usual, the dive plan will depend on whether the channel is outgoing or incoming. We had an incredible dive, with around 10-15 sharks - grey reef + white tips circling around and a manta ray coming down in the middle of them. This kind of activity usually happens deeper, at around 27-30 metres, so conserve your air in the beginning. As usual, bring a reef hook and stick to your dive guide who will be able to show you the spots with the most action.

Your best dive is probably going to be with an incoming current on one of the corners of the channel, however even with an outgoing current you are likely to get a lot of action, albeit with worse viz.
