Kuda Hoholha

This dive site, Kuda Hoholha, is located in the northwest, just below Bodu Hoholha and a man-made channel frequented by local fishermen. It features a dramatic underwater topography, characterized by a steep drop-off that plunges from 6 meters down to beyond 30 meters, though the site's maximum recreational depth is considered 25 meters. Divers can explore fascinating caves and impressive overhangs, particularly around the 25-meter mark, with hints of even larger cave systems starting deeper. There is no specific historical account or story provided for this site, but its unique structure promises an engaging dive experience. Beneath the surface, Kuda Hoholha boasts a vibrant ecosystem. Divers can anticipate encounters with a variety of marine life including large green turtles, majestic reef sharks, and impressive napoleon wrasse. The reef is also home to lobsters, moray eels, schools of jack fish, groupers, and snappers. The landscape is adorned with beautiful gorgonians and large table corals, providing shelter and food for countless smaller creatures. The best time to visit the Maldives for diving is generally year-round, with specific seasons offering variations in currents and pelagic sightings. This site is ideal for photographers looking for wide-angle landscape shots of the wall and cavern entrances, as well as macro opportunities for the smaller inhabitants. Freedivers will find the depths and intriguing features, especially the caves and overhangs, highly appealing for exploration within their breath-hold limits, provided they have adequate experience with wall dives and varying depths. Pay attention to potential currents, especially near the channel, as they can be variable.
