About this dive site

This dive site, Kandooma Beyru, offers a relaxed and enjoyable dive along the outer reef of Kandooma Island in the Maldives. Divers can explore a vibrant reef system, navigating through numerous natural niches and crevasses that provide shelter for smaller marine life. There is no specific historical background mentioned for this natural reef, making its beauty purely a gift of nature. The marine life here is exceptionally diverse and abundant. Divers frequently encounter large pelagics such as blacktip, grey, and whitetip sharks, as well as majestic eagle rays and graceful sea turtles. The reef is also home to schooling reef fishes, impressive Napoleon wrasse, and a variety of macro life including colorful nudibranchs, elusive moray eels, and octopuses thriving within the beautiful coral formations. The best time to visit Kandooma Beyru is generally during the dry season (December to April) for optimal weather and calm conditions, though diving is excellent year-round. Divers are advised to bring a camera to capture the vivid corals and fascinating macro subjects found within the many hideaways. Freedivers will also find the site highly suitable given its average depth and rich marine life visible at shallower levels.
