Kassanfaru Corner

This dive site, Kassanfaru Corner, is situated northeast of Joy Island in the Maldives, approximately 15 minutes away by boat. It is primarily experienced as a drift dive, guiding divers along the natural contours of the vibrant reef. While historical accounts or specific stories about its naming are not provided, its reputation stems from its dynamic currents and rich marine interactions, particularly around the notable cleaning station rocks. The site boasts amazing fish life. Divers can expect to encounter Grey reef sharks actively utilizing the cleaning station, while Whitetip reef sharks are often observed resting on the seabed or within crevices in the rocks. The diverse array of fish life contributes significantly to the site's rich biodiversity. The best time to visit Kassanfaru Corner is when currents are mild, allowing more time to explore the intricate rock formations and the bustling cleaning station. For divers, practicing good buoyancy control and current management is crucial due to the site's drift nature and variable currents. While the primary appeal is for scuba divers, advanced freedivers might find opportunities during calmer periods, though strong currents can make it challenging.
