About this dive site

This dive site, Toshi Caves, located in Kudey Kandu, is characterized by its rounded and expansive corner, offering a unique channel experience. Despite the presence of strong currents in the area, the dive is described as an easy channel experience, implying a manageable drift. The reef drops steeply from the surface to a depth of 30 meters, though the maximum recommended dive depth for this particular site is 18 meters. No specific historical details or stories behind the dive site are provided. While the reef may initially appear somewhat grim from a distance, a closer inspection reveals a vibrant ecosystem teeming with life. The Toshi Caves are a haven for macro photography enthusiasts and divers seeking smaller creatures. You can expect to encounter a wealth of macro life including scorpion fish, stone fish, lionfish, various species of shrimp, and crabs, all thriving within the reef's varied shapes and sizes. The provided information does not specify an optimal time to visit Toshi Caves, but the Maldives generally offers excellent diving conditions year-round. Divers should be prepared for the strong currents, which contribute to the 'easy channel experience' but still necessitate good buoyancy control and current awareness. Freedivers will find the 18-meter maximum depth accessible, but like scuba divers, they should be proficient in managing strong currents.
