Cocoa Corner

This dive site, Cocoa Corner, is a renowned channel dive in the Maldives, famous for its thrilling encounters with large pelagic species. Divers typically navigate with the current, either incoming or outgoing, each offering distinct highlights. Incoming currents bring abundant sharks patrolling the channel entry, while outgoing currents reveal interesting detached coral blocks frequented by nurse sharks and rays. The site boasts an impressive array of marine animals. Divers can expect to see numerous grey reef sharks, white tip reef sharks, and nurse sharks. Other notable residents include honeycomb moray eels, green and hawksbill turtles, dog tooth tunas, octopuses, stingrays, and eagle rays. Schools of fusiliers add to the vibrant reef ecosystem. The optimal experience at Cocoa Corner is often during incoming currents when grey reef sharks are most active in the blue. Experienced divers should be prepared for variable current conditions, which can range from mild to strong, making it a dynamic dive. Freedivers can also appreciate the rich marine life, particularly the pelagic encounters, though current awareness is crucial.
