Kani Inside

This dive site, Kani Inside, is a well-protected reef in the Maldives, ideal for divers of all levels. The reef top starts at a shallow 4 meters, gradually dropping into a wall at 4-6 meters that descends to 15 meters. Divers can explore numerous small inlets and crevices along this wall, making navigation straightforward by following the reef contour. There is no specific history or story provided for this site beyond its natural formation. Kani Inside boasts a diverse array of marine life. Within the small inlets and crevices, a variety of macro life and small creatures can be found. Larger inhabitants include nurse sharks, stingrays, and turtles, which are often spotted hunting in the sandy areas. Whitetip reef sharks and various species of stingrays are also known to pass by, adding to the excitement. The reef itself would be home to various hard and soft corals, along with schooling reef fish, though specific coral types are not mentioned. The Maldives offers year-round diving, but the dry season (December to May) typically provides the best visibility and calmest conditions for Kani Inside. Its shallow reef top and protected nature make it an excellent spot for both snorkelers and freedivers, offering easy access to marine life without excessive depth. Divers should bring a torch to peek into the crevices to discover hidden inhabitants. Its 'well-protected' nature means it's suitable even on choppier days when other sites might be too exposed.
