Description

Diving holiday Maldives Liveaboard Kudhi Maa,Machchafushi House Reef, South Ari Atoll, Depth: 15 – 32m This steel, Japanese cargo vessel, sometimes also simply known as Machchafushi Wreck, was sunk especially for divers in 1998. Since then the vessel has been inundated with life – both soft and hard corals compete with sponges, algae and sea squirts for space on this 30m ship, making this a fantastic spot for observing and photographing macro life. In addition to a profusion of critters, divers can find large lionfish, boxfish and pufferfish around the vessel. Those who wish to explore the interior can easily do so from access points on either side of the hull.
