Kandooma Beyru

★★★★☆ (183)

Relaxed dive along the outer reef on the east side of the atoll.Starting from around 7 meters on the reef top, the reef slopes down to 40+ meters, but is most vivid until 20 meters depth. Mostly very pleasant with only very slight currents and easy conditions, making it suitable even for beginner levels.

Frequently seen: Different types of sharks, eagle rays, turtles, napoleons, schools of reef fishes, moray eels etc...
