Hudhuranfushi House Reef

This dive site is the house reef of Hudhuranfushi, situated within a canal between Lohifushi and Kani islands in the Maldives. Divers can expect a dynamic experience, as the canal acts as a natural channel for strong currents. Navigation typically involves a drift dive along the reef, which drops from a shallow 6 meters down to 40 meters. There is no specific historical information or story provided for this dive site. The Hudhuranfushi House Reef is teeming with marine life, particularly large pelagics. Divers frequently encounter impressive species such as grey reef sharks, white tip sharks, and nurse sharks. Eagle rays are often spotted gliding through the currents, and large napoleon wrasse also inhabit the reef. The reef itself features vibrant coral formations, providing a rich ecosystem for a variety of smaller reef fish. The best time to visit for encountering big pelagics is during periods of stronger current, which necessitates advanced diving skills. Without current, the site transforms into an ideal location for peaceful night dives, offering opportunities for macro photography and observing nocturnal marine life. Freedivers can explore the shallower reef sections when currents are mild, but strong currents make freediving challenging and potentially hazardous. It is highly recommended for all divers to seek local guidance regarding current conditions before diving this site.
