Guraidhoo Corner

Dive site in
Improve

Is a huge corner on the Guraidhoo channel it is situated on the south side. The corner is actually developed at 1 meter sloping down to 12 meters and then dropping vertically to the drop off situated at 40 meters. The formation of this corner makes it with strong current the most difficult dive in this atoll ( and in our experience one of the toughest dive all around here) and at the same time one of the best clear water ever seen in the Maldives. On good days while diving in 20 meters is common to clearly see the bottom of the channel at 72 meters !! . the main encounter are Mantas grey reef shark and an incredible quantity of pelagic fish, and sometimes hammerhead and whale sharks. The main dive is done with incoming and moderate current. On days where the current is incoming from SE to NW it can be done the channel crossing which is simply a breathtaking Experience for every diver.

Current: low - strong

Depth: 5 – 40 m

Difficulty: simple, medium – hard
