Itinerary description
In Maldives all the dives site that have “kandu” in the name are channel dives. That means clear water, dive on the ocean edge to meet a big amount of grey reef sharks, tuna, jack fish and sometime dolphins and sail fish. In deep south some of them host a big amount of green turtles (Kooddo Kandu, Vilingili Kandu partucularly); some of them has great coral gardens (such as Kureddoo Kandu, Kondei Kandu).
Outside of the island of Genemanafushi we have good chance to meet large group of Hammerheads Sharks, diving in the blue, drifting long an oceanic reef. Southern than Huvadhoo, if the ocean condition are good, we can go to the ultimate Maldivian dive destination, Fommulah. This atoll is made by only one island in the middle of the Indian ocean: here, thanks to the oceanic current, we have great chances to meet tiger sharks and thresher sharks. We can spend here just one full day and make 3 dives, because there isn’t a place for night anchorage: not so uncommon to meet here oceanic mantas or whale sharks. More than one night we will try to attract whale shark behind the boat with a powerful light. Thanks to the many desert islands, we will do the barbecue on the beach in a very beautiful location, need just to pic-up an island!
A typical day: 3 daily dives, plus extra nocturnals, with 4 experienced scuba guides; accompained snorkeling twice a day for non-divers, buffet meals, plus self service water and hot drink (extras feature a fine selection of wines, cocktails and mocktails).
Weekly highlights: beach bbq party, included nocturnal dive.
