Kuda Haa

This dive site, Kuda Haa, is renowned as a 'fish soup' location in the Maldives, comprising two distinct thilas. One thila begins at a depth of 6 meters, while the second starts around 14 meters, both gracefully sloping down to a sandy bottom exceeding 30 meters. Easily visible from the surface, these connected pinnacles offer a vibrant underwater landscape. Kuda Haa holds a legendary status among divers, celebrated for its extraordinary abundance of marine life. Divers exploring Kuda Haa can expect an incredible spectacle of marine creatures. The site is a magnet for large pelagics like Napoleon wrasses and big blue tunas. Among the reef inhabitants, one can spot various moray eels, an array of colorful shrimps and basslets, elusive scorpion fish, and fascinating mantis shrimps, creating a truly dynamic ecosystem. The best time to visit Kuda Haa for optimal diving conditions typically aligns with the Maldives' dry season (December to May) when visibility is excellent and currents are often favorable for pelagic encounters. This site is ideal for both wide-angle and macro photography due to its diverse inhabitants. While requiring awareness of potentially strong currents, particularly for less experienced divers, its shallower parts also offer rewarding experiences for snorkelers and freedivers looking to witness the vibrant marine life.
